[lug] Linux & NT email

[Andrew Diederich]

I believe what you want to do is setup a send-only mailserver on your linux 
box.  Sendmail talks about smarthosts, and I think the other popular 
mailservers use the same generic lingo, here.

A smarthost is just the mail server upstream from you that takes care of 
delivering all your mail.  You just send all your mail to it, and let it 
take care of you (err, of it for you).

I haven't used qmail before, but postfix has an entry for this on their FAQ 
page http://www.postfix.org/faq.html#null_client.
