Thanks for the suggestion, but as far as I can see, this does not cover my 
problem. The above seems to refer to services running locally on the Kolab 
server, whereas I want services running on the workstations (i.e. "remote" 
from the Kolab server's point of view) to be able to send mail.

Right now, I have opted for replacing the "root at DOMAIN" distribution list with 
a real (internal) account that has forwarding set to mailadmin. That seems to 
work so far, but I'm still wondering whether this has any implications that I 
might have overlooked... :-}

Cheerio,

Thomas
