~control/smtproutes

From Qmail-LDAP Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

Artificial SMTP routes used by qmail-remote. This list can be used to define smarthost or do a mail route that is not defined on internet DNS.

Default:

none

Syntax:

[<email_domain>]:<mail_server_hostname_or_ip_address>

-or-

[<email_domain>]:<mail_server_hostname_or_ip_address> [<smtp_auth_username> <smtp_auth_password>] (since 20040401)

Example:

domain.com:mail.domain.com (using mail server hostname)

email.com:192.168.1.10     (using mail server IP address)

:smarthost.domain.com      (defining smarthost)

domain.com:mail.domain.com joeusername joepass      (SMTP AUTH for smtproutes; only after 20040401)

Note:

Multilines.

You can specify a smarthost by just using :<smart_host_hostname_or_ip_address>. This will instruct qmail-remote to send all email that is not under ~control/locals to <smart_host_hostname_or_ip_address>.

If you enter more than one of the same domain into the list, it will only honor the first instance on the list.

Since patch 20040401, SMTP AUTH is supported in smtproutes (see syntax and example above)
