Hi all,

I'm having some difficulties in configuring an Imail server for a client.
The set up at the client is as follows:

Leased line connection recently installed;
Gnat Firewall;
Imail server outside firewall with public IP;
Exchange server inside firewall (Private IP - 192....)
NO internal DNS.

Prior to having leased line, the client has been using their Exchange server
for internal mail only and using one of our in-house Imail servers via the
internet using a dial-up connection to another ISP.

I thought it would be appropriate to configure their new Imail machine to
store and forward all their mail to their internal Exchange Server using
ETRN, but am stuck on a technicality. Basically, as their internal Exchange
server doesn't use a FQDN, and is using an internal IP, I can't figure out
how I am to write the MX records and host files to make this work.

The exchange server has been set up to recognize a pseudo-domain e.g.
innerdomain.com (not registered with Internic) and I have configured their
Imail server as outerdomain.com (Fully registered and qualified domain).

My current thinking is that maybe I should set up internal DNS for the
client but not sure how to set this up correctly for this situation and also
not sure if I'm close to the mark or going totally the wrong direction.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Dave
