Hi all, Thanks to many on the list , most of my questions have been answered ! My office Lan has a fictitious domain, adventus.cxm . Qmail runs on server.adventus.cxm ( IP = 192.168.1.254 ) . The firewall / gateway machine ( IP= 192.168.32.1 ) is connected to the Net over ISDN dialup. We wish to setup virtualdomains for our users to allow them access to their POP mail from different providers .My /var/qmail/control/smtproutes contains a single line :smtp.myisp.net . smtp.myisp.net does not relay emails from my system , because it does not recognise server.adventus.cxm . Fetchmail is working correctly ! What do i need to do about the SMTP bit ? Sincerely Anurag
