What's so hard about it? Just change majordomo to use a small script 
instead of "/usr/lib/sendmail", and have that script remsh over the other 
host and execute sendmail there.

Obviously not something you want to do for a permanent installation, but 
it would probably work fine for a temporary measure while you're working 
on the main sendmail.
