If you can use mailertable, then set the domain up in mailertable
like this:

    # echo 'b.com local:forwarder >> /etc/mail/mailertable
    # makemap <whatever> /etc/mail/mailertable < /etc/mail/mailertable

In your aliases, do something like:

    forwarder: "|procmail /etc/mail/b-forwarder"

And in /etc/mail/b-forwarder, try something like

    SENDER = "<$1>" # fix for empty sender addresses
    SHIFT = 1 # remove it from $@

    :0:
    * ^TOgoner@b.com
    /dev/null

    :0 w # pass along all other mail
    ! -oi -f "$SENDER" "$@"

I got that last bit from the EXAMPLES section of procmail(1), so
check there, too, because it wants you to make sure your sendmail.cf
contains some things.

Also, this is untested, so be careful.

Mark.
