Setting up mail transfer to find it's way "up" to your ISP's smart relay host, is done differently in each MTA. If you're using the BSD's bundled sendmail you need the options MASQUERADE_AS(`your.isp.com')dnl FEATURE(masquerade_envelope)dnl which is also described in the handbook/FAQ, for dialup setup of sendmail. From the FAQ you want to read Q: How do I set up mail with a dialup connection to the 'net? If, on the other hand you're using that other popular MTA, qmail, you can get away with a properly set up /var/qmail/control/smtproutes, i.e: .local.domain: :smart.isp.relay You'll probably want to install a caching named too, to make sure that the MX records for local.domain. point to your own smtp server. But this is another thing. -- Giorgos Keramidas, <keramida@ceid.upatras.gr> "What we have to learn to do, we learn by doing."
