<p class=MsoNormal>If I have a production mailserver and a series of Linux
servers that all develop mail from logging etc, it seems slightly redundant to
have so many smtp servers installed on each of those boxes simply forwarding
mail as I choose to not have local delivery. Is there a mechanism possible in
CentOS to setup a pointer to a different mailserver such that programs like
mailx could still send mail?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Currently I have postfix setup with maps so that root on
server A has mail sent from <a href="mailto:root@server-a.fqdn">root@server-a.fqdn</a>
and that is relayed to my production box. It just seems like it is an
additional service to manage on so many hosts?<o:p></o:p></p>
