Topic: redirect outbound smtp

[aussie]

I have an sme6.0 that has been replaced with something else, but this unit will keep sending OUT emails. (weird but true).
I have made the 'fetch' never at all times, but cannot figure out how to
send outgoing emails to a given IP (of the replacement server - which I have no control over / access to).
I am hoping for a config file to just 'break', even if I have to keep it broken (say use cron to override esmith reconfig).
[I tried 'delegate mailserver' but didnt seem to do it for me].
Any ideas / help would be greatly appreciated. Rob

I guess you need this topic. It has been covered.

thanks KR, but I am trying to smtp to another box on the lan (eg from a.b.c.8 to a.b.c.9) with no authentication.
I am told that no user name / password is required
(and yeppers - those telling me aint telling me much, but I can do little about that!)

Im happy to settle for something OUTSIDE of sme config,
and keep it working with a cron replacement after every sme-reconfigure.

Delegate mail server is used when the server is acting as a gateway, and passes mail for domains configured on the server to some other internal mail server. You want the other direction:

Code: [Select]

The server can deliver outgoing messages directly to their destination (recommended in most cases) or can deliver them via your Internet provider's SMTP server (recommended if you have an unreliable Internet connection or are using a residential Internet service). If using your Internet provider's SMTP server, specify its hostname or IP address below. Otherwise leave this field blank.
