Because sendmail as configured on the raq's 'knows' that interfaces it is
listening on are local. (and thus bypass the alias rules)

The only thing i can think of offhand is to try to fool it, make a domain
like outbound.ky.net and MX that to the external mail server, and don't
list it as an alias for sendmail, cgi's should be able to send to that
explicitly, but somewhere you will need to patch it up again with a domain
alias...

(havn't tried this, just something that comes vaguely to mind)
