<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">The
documentation says: “Any mail sent to a host not in the
domain.txt file or not found via a nameserver query, will
instead be sent to the gateway for forwarding (if
#define’d).”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">For
an OR statement to be true, only one of the inputs need to
be true. So if mail is destined for a host which is NOT in
domain.txt, then an smtp gateway is required, EVEN IF the
host IS found via a nameserver query. Correct?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">If
so, that would match the condition I’m seeing. I don’t
currently have an smtp gateway configured. Messages to
hosts in my domain.txt file go out, but messages to hosts
which are not in my domain.txt file sit in the smtp queue
and don’t go out, even though those hosts are listed in DNS.</span><span

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">If
this is all true, then it seems like the second condition is
meaningless and should be removed from the text. In other
words, if the destination host is not in domain.txt then the
mail will be sent to the gateway for forwarding. If a
gateway is not defined, then the messages will remain in the
queue. Am I reading this wrong?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
