I assume you configured the DNS-entry for your firstcomputer and the MX-entry for secondcomputer such as the whole internet can get an answer. As you describe that the message bounces between your computers I think you did it right. So on your firstcomputer you put in your control/smtproutes something like domain.on.secondcomputer:secondcomputer or domain.on.secondcomputer:[IP of secondcomputer] This should send all messages for secondcomputer received by firstcomputer to secondcomputer. So on secondcomputer you have to tell QMail which domains are to be handled locally. That's the matter of the files control/locals, control/virtualdomains. You must also put this into control/rcpthosts if you use it. It's a matter of relaying. A good way to let firstcomputer send all mails from secondcomputer to the internet, is to put in secondcomputers control/smtproutes :firstcomputer This will force secondcomputer to send all mails to firstcomputer and firstcomputer will send it to the recipient. I think it should work if you configure it this way. Otherwise it could be a DNS-problem with resolving of firstcomputer or secondcomputer. If it doesn't work, show us your configfiles of QMail and DNS. This might help a lot... CU Holger
