Force mailertable use to delivery mail to a different SMTP host

If you're like me, maybe you are using a local SMTP server for mail delivery, and you tell that SMTP server, Sendmail in this case, to deliver mail to a "smart host" for further delivery.
I have to do this because my IP address is sometimes blocked on DNS blacklists because it is classified as a "dialup/ISP" IP address. Admittedly, this is good, but what about some hosts that you want to deliver mail to directly because sometimes the "smart host" is slow and takes a while before it actually sends the mail on its way.
Easy answer. Use mailertable.
Example:
Add this line to your mailertable...
hotmail.com smtp:hotmail.com
This will make all e-mail destined to hotmail.com go directly to the hosts listed in the MX record for hotmail.com, and it won't be sent via your "smart host".
Easy to do, and another use for mailertable!
