I agree, and zynkx, I can't tell you how to do this with qmail because I'm a
sendmail person. Do what Jeff suggests and look at the qmail documentation,
and if it's not clear ask on a qmail list.
I really think you should not try doing this by IP address because those may
change and you won't find out until things start going wrong.

Not quite - the satellite link got installed very suddenly (phone call Friday,
two men and a long ladder on Monday...) and we now have a month to evaluate
it and see if it's a suitable replacement for the leased line - so I have to
get as much of it working as possible so people can test it properly.
