That sounds like even more fun than when I dialled into one isp with
smarthost set to another...

.. might not sound like a real disaster, but I have incoming mail
autoforwarded to my work email address.

Worked out the problem yet?


Try to send out mail, isp set as smarthost doesn't relay and replies to
say so.

That error message is autoforwarded to my work address and isp set as
smarthost doesn't relay and replies to say so.

Oh, and each 1 minute sendmail tries to resend any outstanding emails
(to an isp that won't relay), apart from anything else there are about
half a dozen error messages at least so far awaiting forwarding...

Repeat whilst I wonder why the HD is making so much more noise than
usual (at least it didn't happen whilst running unattended).
