Forwarding mail to another server

[Pat Maddox]

Hey guys, thanks for all the advice so far.  I initially went with
ssmtp, that seemed to be working alright, but some of my emails are
getting...lost.  They probably bounce, but because I don't have an
SMTP server running on my machine, I'm not getting those bounces.

I wanted to try Daniel's method, using SMART_HOST.  So I removed the
ssmtp port and, made the changes back to /etc/mail/mailer.conf, and
followed his instructions.  None of the messages go through, they
always end up on my local machine with the message "Failed to route
address."  Any ideas on what to do?
