How do I send mail to primary MX?

Hi,

I have two mail servers, mx1 and mx2 running sendmail. In the DNS they
are setup as:

IN      MX      10      mx1.byford.com.
IN      MX      20      mx2.byford.com.

If mail is sent to mx2 for whatever reason, it goes to the local user's
mail spool directory on that server. How do I make sure all mail is sent
to mx1 even if it arrives at mx2?
(This is so pop3 users only need one server to look at).

Cheers,


Mark.
