Set `listen addresses' in masqmail.conf to only localhost:

	listen addresses="localhost:25"

Or if all mail will be sent by using the local `sendmail' command, and
you don't need to listen on a local port, then you don't need to run
Masqmail as a daemon.

Looks alright.

So, this issue is already solved?

add a line to /etc/aliases:

	administrator: \administrator, admin@example.org

this sends all mail to administrator to himself and to the remote
address. Note the backslash to prevent recursion, which would result
in ignoring this item.
