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:

  1. In server-manager choose "E-mail" under menu heading "Configuration", and choose "Change e-mail delivery settings"
  2. 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
  3. If you need to use a special port (e.g. 587) on the external mail server:
    $ /sbin/e-smith/db configuration setprop smtp-auth-proxy PeerPort 587
  4. It may be advisable to also do:
    $ /sbin/e-smith/db configuration setprop smtp-auth-proxy Debug enabled
    This will show the communication with the external mail server, helping solve potential problems regarding login etc.
  5. 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
  6. $ signal-event email-update
