That just moves all traffic to another sever for processing,
regardless of the final destination.

This is more of what I want to do. It doesn't matter where the mail
comes from, whether it's from the internet or from the local network,
I don't want mail2 to keep any mail locally. Even though this is
going to be an outbound box only, (no POP'ing allowed) I want it to
connect to the internet for deliver external mail, and to forward
locally anything for the other 2 mail servers.
I've looked at the /var/spool/smtpd/etc/smtpd_check_rules and can't
see the portion of the file to edit to do the equivelant of q-mails
smtproutes.
If I just want to stop the obtuse-smtpd and start qmail-smtpd every
time I reboot, which script should I edit?

e-smith flexibility is one of the reasons I'm using it...
