Relaying through Smart Host - Solution

[Steve deCarteret]

The SMTP service was already listening on the external interface, so that
wasn't a problem.  I modified the /etc/mail/access file to include my local
domain, local subnet and specific host, all to no avail.  However, when I
added the domain of my ISP, where the smart host was located, relaying
started working fine.

Thanks for the suggestions!
Steve
