On the remote server, create an smtproutes file:

echo ":main.mail.server.fqdn" > /var/qmail/control/smtproutes

This will cause the remote mail server to forward all SMTP mail the the main 
mail server.

Hope this helps.

remote mail server

[Raymond Orchison]

Hi,

I have two mail servers, the one is located in the same office as my isp
data line and is my main mail server, the other is a remote mail server in
another part of the country.

The remote server needs to be a pop server, all mail arriving at the main
mail server gets forwarded to the remote mail server and the clients read
their mail off the remote server. The remote server also needs to be an smtp
server so that the remote users can connect to that server and send their
mail. How do I set the remote server up to forward all smtp traffic to the
main mail server?

Thank you
Raymond
