The term "smarthost" is simply another name for a mail server. A mail server designated as a "smarthost" does nothing more or nothing less than any other mail server. All mail across and between networks is transported using mail servers. > I do want to be able to use this server as the smart host for my other > lan machines. So is that second one (about relaying) the place to > list my lan networks? It is the correct place. An example of what to put there is given in another post in this thread. I have 192.168.7.0/24. I don't know whether /24 is as good as /23. Simon Hollenbach mentioned authentication being desirable for remote machines (your LAN machines are classified as remote), but I don't bother with it on the basis that they are on my home network because I trust them. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
