Why would you want to relay it via another external server? The aim of the persona is to 'impersonate' the external mail id and send it directly from Zimbra with a return address of the external mail account. |
And to further expand the point (from perhaps a different angle)...my server, for instance, is not a certified sender via SPF records for domains such as yahoo.com, gmail.com, etc. Nor does my server have domain-key certificates for those domains. So, when I send persona-based emails with a "from" of yahoo.com, gmail.com, etc...I am automatically lowering my deliver-ability chances dramatically depending on the settings of my recipient's mail service. In some cases, it will be rejected completely. The only solution that will allow personas to work in such an environment is an "add external smtp" option, such as being discussed in the bug listed above, to be associated with personas and/or "external accounts".
