Subj : SMTP Local/Remote Domains

I have a question about SMTP e-mail setup. When I configured my BBS a few years
ago, I decided I didn't want to support internet e-mail, so I disabled all of
the options in Synchronet. Today, I thought it might be a good idea to turn on
e-mail notifications so that users could get an e-mail when a new message was
delivered to them on the BBS. I really decided to turn this on for me, since I
don't log in every day, but would like to know when someone sends me a message.

Here is my problem, my BBS address is tmcbbs.com, so it views that domain as
internal. However, I do not host e-mail accounts on it. Instead, I host e-mail
for that domain via G-Mail / Google Apps. My Sysop account has a netmail
address of sysop@tmcbbs.com which is hosted at Google. So, when I set my BBS
account to forward new messages to my netmail account, they never make it there
since tmcbbs.com is viewed as a local domain. Is there a way I can set it so
that tmcbbs.com is still the address for the BBS, but that the tmcbbs.com
e-mail domain is not treated as local?

On another note, is it possible to enable new message e-mail notification
without enabling the ability for users to send e-mail? In other words, do I
have to set Networks->Internet E-mail -> Allow Sending of E-mail to "Yes" in
SCFG in order for e-mail notifications to work?
Here's a little background info on my system:

tmcbbs.com
Synchronet 3.15a
Windows Server 2003
Telnet only
