I use the default virtual SMTP queue's "smart host" entry for forwarding
mail to the *nix relay. This configuration works perfectly fine right now,
as all other inbound/outbound email stil flows exactly as it should. It's
only when I attempt sending to recipients on ServerB that the problems
occur.
The queue on ServerA simply shows queue attemtping to resend the message in
"retry" state to ServerB.
Currently, the *nix relay is still configured to send all email addressed to
a "mycompany.com" address through ServerA. Since the mailbox that I'm
atempting to send email to is on ServerB, and since ServerA is using the
*nix relay for all recipients not found local to itself, do I need to modify
the *nix relay so that it can relay email from ServerA over to ServerB?
