RE: [IMail Forum] Using Imail to send thru another SMTP server.

[Adrian Henderson]

Well, I am not sure if this will help you with your end goal, but I had a similar error code and got it resolved as follows.  The server has a dial up connection with a static IP, but hosts a proxy server with a NIC and a private static IP.  The problem was that Imail bound itself to the internal NIC and wouldn't send out - you're MX Fail error.  You can see this binding when you look at the Imail Admin utility.  I can't recall the screen off hand, but it is greyed out!  I had to hack the registry - do a search on Imail for "bindtoip".  I bound it to the static dialup IP and all was well.  How well this will work for you with a dialup I don't know...     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Jeff Johnston Sent: Monday, April 03, 2000 9:05 AM To: imail list Subject: [IMail Forum] Using Imail to send thru another SMTP server. I tried once on this list but I don't think I explained myself correctly. This is the case I have Imail which I am using as a Internal email system, Several of our employees have internet email as well, the most common email method right now is Outlook. Outlook can recieve for two Internet based servers but will not send for two, so what I am trying to do is use Imail to forward all outboud email to our existing email services. I assumed setting up a Remote mail gateway host would do this, but to no avail. I continually get a MX connect fail. I am connected to the net thru a dial up connection, the IP address of my server is a internal address, the IP address of my connection is dynamic. There is no problem with the SMTP server on the other end as I am sending this thru there server.   Any ideas?
