On internal.scim.net, your smtproutes should contain the following:
:external.scim.net
That way, all domains not local will be forwarded to
external.scim.net for relay. external.scim.net must allow selective
relaying; if you're using tcpserver, then add the IP address of
internal.scim.net followed by ':allow,RELAYCLIENT=""' into /etc/tcp.smtp and
type 'tcprules /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb /tmp/tcp.tmp < /etc/tcp.smtp' (This is
paraphrasing Michael Samuel's detailed "How to selective relay" instructions
at http://qmail-docs.surfdirect.com.au/docs/qmail-antirelay.html, which
seems to be not responding right now.
