Carl,
	In the arrangement you describe it would only be possible if they
have their mail server set to blindly deliver everything through you which
in turn would ultimately be delivered back to them. If however they have
the sendmail machine set to deliver local mail for them then there is no
need for the message to evey be sent outside unless one of the recipients
were outside, then it's fair game.

	Respectfully,
