Before writing my previous mail, I read exactly the same documentation as you linked above and for me it says something exactly opposite: Dovecot submission service needs real MTA as a "backend" to relay mail onto the Internet. By itself it can only send mail to that preconfigured backend MTA. It may be on a different server, but it needs to be available: "The Dovecot SMTP submission service directly proxies the mail transaction to the SMTP relay configured with the following settings:" -- Regards, Jaroslaw Rafa r...@rafa.eu.org -- "In a million years, when kids go to school, they're gonna know: once there was a Hushpuppy, and she lived with her daddy in the Bathtub."
