Jonas,
You need an official dns MX Entry pointing to your (backup) mail server,
e.g.
galorath.com. IN MX 30 mail.galorath.com.
mail IN A 64.0.159.128

Subject: [IMail Forum] Store and forward doesn't work.
Hi All,
I have setup our mail server to store the mail for one of our customers if
their mailserver (MS Exchange) goes down. Our setup is according to
Ipswitch's (and this lists) instructions. However our server didn't store
their mail last weekend when their power went down. Our mailserver sent the
mail back to the sender with a "550 not local host galorath.com, not a
gateway" error. Below is our DNS and hosts configuration:
<snip>
galorath.com. IN A 63.209.65.77
IN MX 10
w128.z064000159.lax-ca.dsl.cnc.net.
IN MX 20 boca.netwood.net.
;
www IN CNAME galorath.com.
ftp IN CNAME galorath.com.
mail IN A 64.0.159.128
</snip>
<snip>
#
127.0.0.1 localhost
64.0.159.128 mail.galorath.com galorath.com
</snip>
The domain galorath.com is not in IMail configuration.
Why wasn't the mail stored and forwarded?
