I'm trying to set up my system to that all mail goes through an SMTP
relay or forwarder. This is because the firewall I'm behind only allows
email out through this forwarder.
Ok, so I put the FQDN in the /var/qmail/control/bouncehost. No joy; I
suspect it's still trying direct. I change it to the hostname in the
bouncehost file. Nothing. Change it to the ip address. Nothing. The host
is in the /etc/hosts file. There could be a problem with getting the
host resolved though as the DNS I'm going through is a bit dodgy. Would
this have any affect even though the host is in the /etc/hosts file?
Syslog gives me the message: unable to establish an SMTP connection.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Regards
Chris Hellberg
