==== qmail: Outgoing SMTP traffic ====
Once a message has been accepted by ''qpsmtpd'' it is handed to ''qmail'' for delivery.
* If the message is addressed to an email account hosted on your SME server, qmail delivers the file to the local mailbox.
* If the message is addressed to a remote email address, qmail either delivers the message directly to the recipient's mail server, or to the relay mail server value at ''server-manager::email::Address of internet provider's mail''
''Mail log file analysis'' in the server-manager provides access to several reports regarding ''qmail''.
