How can I tell Scalix to send mail to a mail hub?

Greets :)

Is it possible to tell Scalix to send mail via a mail hub. I know with Sendmail you can edit the sendmail.mc file and enable SMART_HOST but if I do this, I'm pretty sure I'll break Scalix. Would I use omaddrt?

Your help is much appreciated.

sendmail is responsible for handling all outbound internet mail. The Scalix internet g/w just hands the message to sendmail.

This means that if you need to route outbound mail via another host, you should use the DS macro in the sendmail.cf file.

Greets,

Just so that people know how to do this..

cd /etc/mail/
vi sendmail.cf

Look for DS by typing /DS and enter the following

DSmailhub.domain.com
I used DNS because thats the best way to go :)

by the way....

Dont edit the sendmail.mc file and try to apply that, I haven't tried it, but I think that the changes would destroy any Scalix specific settings in sendmail.cf file.. I'm not a sendmail expert, my beard hasn't grown, and I dont have sandals.. *grinz*

To replace the Scalix sendmail configuration after rebuilding from sendmail.mc, run the command "omsendin"
