It all depends on the OS and the MTA you are using.
The generic answer is to point your MTA at the Demon SMTP server
as the 'smart host' and don't give it any clues as to your domain,
then fetch it with POP3 (this last because your MTA won't know
your domain from the rules above).
There are probably other tricks to do this, but note that most
MTAs are smart enough to not want to do this on the grounds that
it is a little silly! <grin>
Regards,
Harry.
