Colin,

Here's the steps I recommend to become a mail relay for a client:

1) Create an MX record in DNS for their domain that is your BQ server. Make it a low priority.

2) cd /etc/mail

3) vi access 

create an entry like this to tell sendmail to allow this domain:

clientdomain.com    RELAY

4) vi mailertable 

tell sendmail exactly what to do with mail for the clients domain:

clientdomain.com      smtp:mail.clientdomain.com

of course I am assuming that mail.clientdomain.com is the "real" mail server and we are just
relaying mail to it. You will have to ask them the name of their mailserver.

3) type "make" in the /etc/mail directory to rebuild the access.db and mailertable.db
database.

Herb

We are getting clients requesting SMTP 'store & forward' facilities.

The idea being that we store their email and then frwardit automatically
when they come on line.

How easy is this to set up with BQ?

Thanks

Colin
