NetMail/DeskLink both use DNS if you have it enabled; you can override any
particular host however by simply adding an entry to the known-hosts screen
in the netmaint program and specify a specific IP address. This overrides
the DNS lookup (or NMMGR-NSDIR/hosts file).

Also, if you ALWAYS want NetMail or DeskLink to route outbound mail through
another server (i.e. all outbound mail gets relayed through another server)
then you need merely set the "trusted gateway" field in the netmaint program
(under global configuration options) to the name of the server that is acting
as your relay.
