Thanks Donald and Mark for your help. A few more queries... I want to set up a remote SMTP server using qmail and use it for both inbound and outbound.
So what kind of aliases do I require for sendmail and qmail on the remote smtp server to forward the messages on to the mailman server. Are these to be defined in /etc/aliases on the remote smtp server ? Also, do I need to run fetchmail on the mailman server to fetch messages from the remote smtp server ?
