Local Mail Relay

I'm not sure if Sophos UTM can do this, but I'm guessing it's easy if it can. Regardless, I haven't been successful...

I have a network with a number of devices (Network management cards, UPS's, etc) that want to send email, but have no way to send credentials. Is there a way to configure the UTM to forward unauthenticated local email to a remote email server that does require authentication?

Thanks!

Thanks again for the response. I had a bit of trouble getting it to work. Eventually I believe I found the problem. My mail server requires authentication, and forces encryption. When I enable 'This Smarthost requires authentication', no email is sent. However, if I disable it, email does send. Before this, I configured my email server to not need authentication for sending email from an external IP to a local email address. I think that when I enable smarthost authentication, it is somehow incompatible with my server settings. I left my email server settings as-is as a temporary workaround.
