Many system administrators do not want to be bothered with the work needed to
|
|
ensure that their system is able to reach all the networks (and therefore
|
|
systems) on all networks worldwide. Instead of doing so, they would rather
|
|
relay all outgoing mail to another system that is known to be indeed
|
|
``smart''.
|
|
<P>
|
|
RELAY_HOST defines the UUCP hostname of such a smart neighboring
|
|
system.
|
|
<P>
|
|
RELAY_MAILER defines the mailer used to relay the messages there.
|
|
<P>
|
|
It is important to note that setting these parameters results in your outgoing
|
|
mail being forwarded to this remote system, which will affect the load of
|
|
their system. Be certain to get explicit agreement from the remote Postmaster
|
|
before you configure your system to use another system as a general purpose
|
|
relay host.
