Thanks, There are no MX as unless someone can tell me different, this would require a separate zone file per host and would be a problem with the dynamic ips. This is a change from 1.22 as sending from that to a non mx host works ok. I don't have any mail being sent between hosts that would break by the change and was just making some quick tests so for my purposes using smtpfwd.tab is acceptable.
