CGI script and sendmail... - A way to remail?
This is kinda strange problem... but I will post it here first and see if I can get an answer ...
I have my MX record modified so that all of my e-mail coming to basketball-game.com automagically gets redirected to Everyone.net and they handle my free e-mail service. Now this works quite well for all e-mail that comes from the 'outside'. ie. If I send an e-mail from home to [email protected] (a test account that I have setup), it redirects from the basketball-game.com server to the Everyone.net server and gets delivered to the correct e-mail box.
BUT - I have several cgi scripts that I run on the servers and some of them send out mail ... like our Challenge script. It allows a player to request a challenge game with another player and automatically sends out an e-mail to the player that was challenged. So, I use Sendmail natually... and that is where my problems begin. Sendmail recognizes that the e-mail is to it's own domain and rather than use the POP server, it just drops it in the basketball-game.com mailbox. I can use the redirect on the server to redirect it to a fixed e-mail (my home e-mail address), but I can't get it to send to the POP each of the individual e-mail addresses. (ie, [email protected], [email protected] and [email protected] all go to [email protected]... I would love it if it would go to the POP as [email protected], [email protected]... but it just won't work).
I have tried 'bouncing' it off of the remailer at [email protected] but that is sometimes delayed by up to 12-24 hours...
Any suggestions on remailing these messages or some way to get them to use the POP server?

Thanks JP and Patrick,
I was hoping that a solution would pop up of a script that would mail it or an open server that is fast (I know, figure the odds eh?)...
Oh well... back to the drawing board...
