Hi Andre,

if I understand it correctly you are trying to allow a SMTP server in
a dynamically connected network to relay emails over the Kolab
server. That won't be possible.

The Kolab server tries to provide a certain amount of security
concerning the identity of its users: If you are Kolab user
a at example.com the server will only allow you to send emails as this
person. If you would now allow just any SMTP relay to send mails over
the Kolab server you'd completely violate that concept.  Only if you
have a host with a fixed IP you can loosen the Kolab restriction by
adding this host to the priviledged networks.

Cheers,

Gunnar
