Yup.  They're my addresses, so it's not really relaying.

Tried it, doesn't work.  Got upset.  Tried various things to make it work (including hacking sendmail.cf) until I gave up and went back to RELAY.

They're local in the sense that the sendmail server is the MX for example.com.  That's why RELAY is acceptable.  They're not local in the sense that the mailboxes live on a different (Exchange) server - sendmail uses MAIL_HUB to forward everything that passes the access_db checks to this Exchange server.  That's why I need RELAY rather than OK.
