If you really want all your SMTP mail to go to your mail server, you can do that by disabling DNS for the SMTP server. However, this causes problems with inbound mail. I e ventually had to split my SMTP server into two servers, ISMTP (on port 25) for inbound mail and SMT P (on port 8425 -- but the number does not matter) for outbound mail. Then I turned off the DNS for the SMTP server but left it on for the ISMTP server. Details on how to turn it off on request . (At the moment I do not remember, but it involved coding an exit.)
IBM is working on an APAR, PK07003, that will add an ALL option to the IP MAILERADDRESS statement, which will direct all output to the IPMAILERADDRESS. However, I still have to run SMTP and ISMTP split, even with that APAR on.
