Since we also need to accept mail locally for domain names, is there a
way to queue just certain domain names? Ok that's asking a lot, so what
options do I have using the second two? I'm guessing that ours is
currently set to background.
Should I :
1) Use background, and allow relaying ?
2) Use queue and set up a cron job ?

Wow, I have no idea how that got set. Seems a bit excessive. Have my
emails always gone out that way?
