RE: How to disable local delivery of mail

I've contacted IBM and they said there is no way to disable local
delivery as long as the IP address for our domain name points to the
AS/400. I can't change that.

So they prefer the A record for the domain over the MX record? That's
not per-RFC and I'd say it's a bug.

Now, that's doesn't help now, so... what about a dummy host entry on the
400 w/the a different ip for your domain so as to fool the local SMTP
server? Does the 400 act as the DNS for the rest of your network?
