It connects to the domainname set in hostname, in my case 
pe1rdw.ampr.org being my jnos system and the exits with a adress unknown.
If I set hostname so something else it will connect to that on smtp 
kick.from what I can tell it takes the smtp server from the from field.

I´m behind a nat firewall so to them I look like I´m from the ip they

I think if I can get jnos to actualy connect to the smtp gateway and not 
the domain in the FROM field it would work.
