I regularly use define(`MAIL_HUB', `mail.domain') define(`confDOMAIN_NAME', `$w.domain') FEATURE(always_add_domain) FEATURE(`masquerade_entire_domain') FEATURE(`masquerade_envelope') FEATURE(`allmasquerade') MASQUERADE_AS(`hostname.domain') MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(`domain') (where mail.domain is the smart hub) I also wish there were a nice configurator with that option.
