To use an external mail server to deliver mails to some domains, but use the built-in mail server for delivering mails to all other domains, you should:
- In server manager choose "E-mail" under menu heading "Configuration"
- Fill out the entries under "SMTP server": Address of the external mail server, and - if needed - the user id and password to use for getting access to the external mail server
- If you need to use a special port (e.g. 587) on the external mail server:
$ /sbin/e-smith/db configuration setprop smtpauthproxy PeerPort 587 - It may be advisable to also do:
$ /sbin/e-smith/db configuration setprop smtpauthproxy Debug enabled
This will show the communication with the external mail server, helping solve potential problems regarding login etc. - Create a custom-template for /var/qmail/control/smtproutes, e.g. the file /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/var/qmail/control/smtproutes/01custom with a content like this:
onedomain.com:localhost:26
anotherdomain.org:localhost:26
with one line for each domain, for which you want to use the external mail server - $ signal-event email-update
