I've been trying to do this for a couple of days and, even with a bit of help from MW have not managed to work out how to do it. I'm experimenting at home with a single linux box, hostname "grafter". I've got qmail running on port 25 and ofmitpd on port 26. My internal domain is "home.internal", my external domain is dsch.freeserve.co.uk. I'd like to re-write all outgoing mail to use my external domain. My qmail/control files are: defaultdomain: home.internal locals: localhost.home.internal grafter.home.internal dsch.freeserve.co.uk me: grafter.home.internal plusdomain: home.internal rcpthosts: localhost.home.internal grafter.home.internal dsch.freeserve.co.uk rewrite -home.internal:dsch.freeserve.co.uk smtproutes home.internal: .home.internal: dsch.freeserve.co.uk:grafter.home.internal :grafter.home.internal:26 With this setup, the re-direction to ofmipd works ie the mail gets forwarded and re-written but it then loops. It would appear that ofmipd is using the same smtproutes as qmail-smtpd and re-forwards the mail to itself. I'd be really grateful if you could tell me where I'm going wrong.
