so, if you have a ISP machine (with a T1) that will relay mail for you (with a 2
8.8k) I think that you should use it always! it's better to connect to the machi
ne that is 2 hop's away than machines 200 hops away :)
you should have your domain in locals, so the only step left is adding:
:relay.some.isp.net
to your control/smtproutes file
that will create a "default" smtproute to the relay.
