Alligate and Imail have different IPs on the same machine.
In my setup all MX records point to the Alligate IP of x.x.x.22 Alligate then forwards the mail to Imail at x.x.x.12. You also need to be sure that imail only listens on its own IP and no others on the machine. At this point I still have my clients sending mail out through Imail so that I can scan the mail for spam. It is simple and works very well I have to give credit to Darrell at Invariant Systems who has way more experience with this and who was a great help in getting this set up and working.

I'm a little confused. If IMail is set up to respond on port 25, what did you have to do to have Alligate get port 25 and NOT IMail? AND, when the Customer SENDS an email, does it go thru Alligate also? Or does the Customers email go directly to IMail? My configuration Ex: for domain xyz.com in DNS an "A" record points to the IP on the IMail server a "MX" record points to the "A" record mail A 123.123.123.123 MX 10 mail.xyz.com Customer (in Outlook Express) POP3 entry is mail.xyz.com SMTP entry is mail.xyz.com Customer can also go to <http://mail.xyz.com> http://mail.xyz.com for web email Does anything have to change : (1) in DNS (2) at the Customers end Thanks very much Ferrell Ard ----- Original Message ----- From: "Harry vanderzand" < <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: < <mailto:declude.junkmail@declude.com> declude.junkmail@declude.com> Sent: Monday, August 25, 2008 9:32 PM Subject: RE: [Declude.JunkMail] OT: Alligate Problems >I love Alligate. > > We have never had any problems with it and it takes care of over 80% of the > spam at the front end. > > We run it on the same box as my imail software and when we implemented it > the server went from an average of 90% utilization to around 50%. > > I find it well worth it > > Harry Vanderzand > NEW ADDRESS Effective Jan 24, 2008 > Intown Internet > 117 Ruskview Road > Kitchener, ON, N2M 4S1 > 519-741-1222 --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
