Topic: forward mail to smtp server

[Kobus]

Hi all

In sendmail there is an option called mailertable. In mailertable you can use something like this

friendsdomain.com      smtp:[mx1.friendsdomain.com]

to forward mail for a specific domain to another smtp server. Is there a similar feature in qmail?

I have tried looking but was unable to find anything.

Thanks Kobus

Yes, qmail uses an smtproutes file. See Life with Qmail to get the big picture on how qmail routes mail.

SME server makes two uses of smtproutes. See "Delegate mail server" to direct mail for local domains to a specific mail server inside your network. You can also direct all non-local mail to a specific external mail server (SMTP SmartHost) - usually your ISP's mail server.
