On myserver.com, set up qmail to listen on port 25. Add ``mydom.co.uk'' to
rcpthosts. Add:
mydom.co.uk:myserver.com:1615
to smtproutes. Remove *all* other instances of ``mydom.co.uk'' from the
control files, including and especially locals and virtualdomains.
Alternatively, depending on how much you trust the custom SMTP server on
1615, you might make it listen *only* to localhost (127.0.0.1) and alter the
smtproutes line above to deliver it to localhost. This will prevent people
from randomly probing and attacking the server on that port... YMMV...
