Problem with internal/external mail delivery

Hello together.

I have the following problem:
our scalix-server receives mail from the tld-domain xyz.de. so all internal users can mail internal to all other internal users.
Unfortunately, one user from that xyz.de domain, receives his mail directly from the providers mailbox on the web.
SO if some user from our scalix server wants to send this external user mail, it gets lost because the scalix server handles all mail for xyz.de.
In my opinion, it should work if i can get the scalix to send ALL internal and external mail to our smarthost on the web.
Do you agree with that?
And how can i do this?

Thx

Alex

You can likely just add an entry into the mailertable that will direct the messages that do not have a recipient on your server to somewhere else. (like the ISP's server)

Scalix will handle mail for the local users itself, and if the recipient isn't local, it'll hand the message to sendmail for processing. Sendmail will use the entry in the mailertable to send the message to the appropriate server for delivery.
