As I said earlier, that is not what it does. It passes only mail destined
for *local* domains to the delegated mail server. It deals with other
outgoing mail normally, either distributing it itself, or passing it off
to a specified SMTP smart host.

It *is* what you want (from what you have said). Have you removed any
customisations and tried it?

What you don't have is the protus.com entry *removed* from
/var/qmail/controls/locals. However, if you use the delegated mail server
feature, all local domains *are* removed from the locals control file.

Yes, as instructed by /var/qmail/controls/locals.

No, we told you what will work :-)
