I have a machine with an app and an SMTP server installed on it. The app always wants to use the local SMTP server to send e-mails. Unfortunately, my network is set up such that e-mails can only be sent by one specific machine (the almighty 10.0.0.3!!). Is there a way to specify, system wide, that all SMTP requests should be dealt with by this other machine?

what about setting your local SMTP server to relay to your lan SMTP server (10.0.0.3)?

That sounds like a great idea!!!!!!!

How do I do that? It looks like I've got exim4 running on this machine. I don't even know where to start, really, except poking around /etc.
