I don't know if you can do that without modifying some code. What we are doing is using port forwarding to forward port 25 to a host on our internal network, but that forwards all traffic to port 25 of that IP address, not just mail for a certain domain, and it also doesn't translate usernames. Anyways, even if you do forward it like that, you won't save any bandwidth, only a little disk space maybe. ¿Why can't you just change the MX to point to the other server? -- Ivan Jager
