Situation
How to specify where GWAVA sends outbound mail
Resolution
If GWAVA is required to relay outbound messages to a specific location, rather than to the internet, then GWAVA needs to use a destination relay server.
Note: This feature only works with SMTP scanners.

Then in the left-side menu, drill down to 'Server / Interface Management - [GWAVA server] - Manage Interfaces - [Interface name] - Interface settings'
