Sorry for jumping in... How where you planning to generate the mail to begin with ? If you are just using a browser email client of some kind you can configure, oh, thunderbird, or whatever to use the mailhub and be done with it, but you will need some config in some client on each end-point... unless you want to install squirl mail or some other web-based email server, but you will still need the mailhub and pop or imap under it. > > set smtp_url=smtp://your-central-box/ > > > Yes, I guess this is the way to do it, just seems wrong somehow to > convert it all to SMTP and back.
