how to make server accept all email for a domain and send it somewhere else.

[bretl]

I am looking to setup a server that accepts any email from anyone (and any ip address) (as long as it is to my domain) then use a smart host to send it to the correct server from there.

can anyone help with that? i don't want an open relay since i just want it to accept mail going to my domains.

Sorry, I am not sure what you mean by "correct server" from there. If you configure a domain locally in the administration program it will accept emails for that domain, but you would need to either configure the email address locally or have a "catch-all" mailbox to catch all one where you have not specified an address. If you mean you want to direct to a different email address then you could use mailbox redirection.

thanks, the issue was under domains, "act as smart host for inbound email to this domain" needed to be checked and a host had to be specified.

not sure why the same option is here and in the smtp connector settings .. but it had to be done at the domains properties.

The SMTP setting for smart host will determine where every outbound email from the server will go to. The domain smart host is for inbound emails to that domain are redirected to the specified domain smart host server.
