i have a costumer that uses outlook express to check his email. He can recieve his emails but he cannot send. how can i do this for him pls if anybody could provide the coding for this.
i am using 2.8.26 version. thanks alot
you need to give him access to an smtp relay. You can put one on your network (Sendmail), use your upstream ISPs smtp server or buy a service, eg from http://www.gradwell.com
MikroTik doesn't have a built in smtp relay.

No you don't need two setups. Just use the outgoing smtp server for all mail accounts.
With MT you can just do a forward rule so all traffic on port 25 will be redirected to whatever server IP address using NAT. That way it won't matter what the user types in. They could have a ougoing server of kiss.my.ass and it would work so long as it used port 25

True, but then when that same customer goes to use the other ISP and they have the wrong SMTP server (maybe yours) then they phone you up saying it does not work. I have found it better to to mess with peoples Internet feeds except maybe a bit of p2p shaping
Educate you customer about smtp, maybe you could set up a SMTP with Auth then tell you customer that for $x a month they can use that from where-ever they are.
