forwarding non-local mail to one specific SMTP-server

2000-01-18 Thread Geir Høgberg

Hi,

my problem is this: (generally it's been metioned before, but it has changed
a little bit :-)

i have a bunch of clients using my qmail-server as smtp for relaying out to
the internet.
the thing is that I want to tweak it a little bit so that when the
mailserver is delivering non-local mail, then it should process it thru
another smtp-server on my network before going out on the internet, this is
a virus-scanning-smtp.
So therefore, all outgoing smtp has to be routed thru that one before
entering the internet and out to the recipient.

is there any good solutions for this kind of action? and is it configurable
so that it does this action with only one or two domains? (that is the
sender-domain...) so if: [EMAIL PROTECTED] sends a message to a non-local, then
it goes out thru this special smtp-relay and virus-scanning thing, but if
[EMAIL PROTECTED] sends a message to a non-local, then it goes directly on to the
net...

a little wierd problem i would presume :)

Geir,

Add the following line to your control files:

/var/qmail/control/smtproutes
=
:your.internal.virus-scanning.host-ip

Then restart qmail.

This will tell qmail to send all non-local (and
virtualdomains) mail to the IP you enter there.

Best of luck,

-Martin
