Finally got this thing working both proxypass and portforwarding contribs however these are some issues that I have observed.

1. It is almost impossible to use Port-Forwarding to forward port 80,
E-Smith's Apache always responds to port-80 requests. If you need this, use Proxypass. And If you try to stop Apache service, you will not have server-manager, so...

2. If you plan to use Proxypass to forward your main domain's web to a second machine (i.e. IIS) you should install E-Smith using a dummy domain like
fw.intranet.lan and then create your main domain as an alias. Why? E-Smith's Apache "always" try to respond to requests made for the main domain, no matter your Proxy-Pass settings.

3. To have your email traffic forwarded to a second server (e.g. Domino,
Exchange, or another Linux-Box) the easiest way is using the Mail Server
delegation included in E-Smith out-of-the-box under the Email Retrieval menu.
