Hi,

Yes, I should have been a bit more specific. As university department,
we receive a number of visitors, when they have been in the plane for
24 hours, they usually want to check their email: each time we have to
inform them that they can only send through our mail gateway, and they
have to temporarily change their setting for the duration fo their
visit, and remember to change back when they left: that is annoying
(and I am not always around to tell them why they cannot send their
email).

That is why I am thinking about transparent redirection.

Best regards,

Olivier
