The alternative for me would be to speicfy multiple smtp relays for these special case stuff. Is it possible? something like: aol.com my.isps.mail.server/someother.mail.server/localhost:10025 roadrunner.com my.isps.mail.server/someother.mail.server/localhost:10025 This way postifx-sendmail tries 'my.isps.mail.server' first - if it can't send mail through that - tries 'someother.mail.server' - else - tries the 3rd alternative 'localhost:10025' aka ssh forwared port. The reason for this is - I'm using 'postfix' to send mail from my laptop - and it can be in different netowrks every day (home - ISP - work - WORK) - and they accept unauthenticated relay form within the netowrk (not outside). So either I do this - or have a 3rd party smpt - relay - which is authenticated/ssl. I guess the third alternative for me would be - always use ssh forwared port for this.. which should always work. The reason I hesitate this always rely on this is - I usually forget to start the ssh connection before sending this special mail (and the mail would sit in the posfix queue for ever) aol.com localhost:10025 roadrunner.com localhost:10025 Thanks, Satish
