Ok, that looks fine.

Right.

>From the qmail-control manpage:

control             default            used by
smtproutes          (none)             qmail-remote

So, smtproutes is used by qmail-remote, that executes after the simscan process
(that is just between qmail-smtpd and qmail-queue in a tipical installation).
