My ISP, Hughes.net, does not offer ptr record creation so I'm being blocked from sending emails to various domains. They suck but I have no other option at the moment.

My question is how do I point my outgoing email traffic to another server offsite? I'm familiar with how to allow the relay at the other end just don't know how to send all my out bound email traffic to it.

Thanks in advance.
 
So on Server A (server with no ptr record) I configure the smart host option to point to server B's (server offsite)Public Internet address.

Then on Server B I allow Server A to Relay mail through it.

Is this the correct scenario?
