subject: How do I change SMTP mail relay server?

For many years we've relay-routed our IBMi-generated emails to an internal
email server on a Win10 box (MAILSVR1), and that's worked fine. Now TPTB
have set us up with hosted outlook.com server. To test it, we've set up
another internal mail server on a separate Win10 box (MAILSVR2). I know
that I need to change the forwarding hub info.

MAILSVR1 receives email from the i and relays it to the outlook.com server
MAILSVR2 will do the same thing, once I get the forwarding hub working...

Here's what we have that works in CHGSMTPA, using MAILSVR2:

Autostart server . . . . . . . . *NO

However, when I change the FWDHUBSVR value to 'MAILSVR2' and restart the
smtp server, the email is still routed to MAILSVR1. Both MAILSVR1 and
MAILSVR2 are defined in CFGTCP option 10, Host Table Entries, and are
pingable.

What else should I look at?
