Here is actually my two log(smtp) entries for the smtpfwd.tab and the smtpgw.tab:
----------------------------------------- "thedaily.tv" "1082936267517.458779.wwwmail" "SACF9" "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" "FWD" "smtp-server.mn.rr.com" "2004-04-25 18:37:50" "thedaily.tv" "1082936992127.1474587.wwwmail" "SAD01" "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" "@smtp-server.mn.rr.com:[EMAIL PROTECTED]" "SMTP" "smtp-server.mn.rr.com" "2004-04-25 18:49:54" ----------------------------------------- I assume the first one is with smtpfwd? and the second with smtpgw?
