Hello everybody.

Im running this gentoo server that I would like to run Qmail on..

My internet provider tell me to send all of my outgoing SMTP traffic through a relay with the DNS a certain DNS name (mailrel.myisprov.com)..

And how do I try if this works?

I've installed qmail and checked that the process is running..
Can anyone help me?=)

Regardz, and most thankfull for the help...

Did you get this resolved?

This is the answer...

echo ':mailrel.myisprov.com' > /var/qmail/control/smtproutes

Then try sending mail. This instructs qmail to send all outgoing mail to the mailserver found at mailrel.myisprov.com.

Yay!!! Thanks..!=)

Now it relays nicely.. except one thing:
If I perform the following PHP code:

Code:

$message="TEST 

Please 
work..."; 

// Basicly sends this to my@emailadress.com from another@emailadress.com...
$var=mail("my@emailadress.com", "TEST", $message, 
     "From: another@emailadress.com\r\n" . 
     "Reply-To: another@emailadress.com\r\n" . 
     "X-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion()); 


if ($var) 
{ 
   echo "Sent!"; 
} 
else 
{ 
   echo "ERROR"; 
}

It sends a mail to my@emailadress.com
yet from the email adress another@homenetwork.tux...
The trailing homenetwork.tux is in my /etc/hosts.... But I thinkt this one is a qmail configuration error...
The email server does not allow homenetwork.tux..
... Does anyone now whats wrong?
