[K12OSN] Using a remote mail server and letting apache have access to it

[jones yeates]

Ok, I got it so that the domain will show up as a different name as my
server, but I can't get apache to be accepted as a valid mail user.  I can't
send an e-mail through php/apache.  I even have apache as a trusted user
(only using the m4 command and not the make command).

Any suggestions?
