I will be hooking up a imail account to an exchange server.
I understand how to set it up to that they get mail for their domain at the
exchange server. I am unclear on how they can send mail from exchange out to
the intertnet.
It looks like there are two main methods for them to receive their domain
mail (not including etern).
Method one
1. Set up an account such as [EMAIL PROTECTED]
2. Forward the nobody alias to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] account.
3. Let the exchange server set up a pop account to retrieve the pop mail in
the [EMAIL PROTECTED] account.
4. Exchange will magically route the mail to the correct exchage recipient.
Method Two
1. In dns set up an "A" record like mail.domain.com and point it to their ip
for the exchange box.
2 In dns, set the higher priority mx record to the imail mail server.
3. In dns set the secondary mx record to mail.domain.com exchange server.
3. Add the ip address and mail.domain.com to the hosts file on the imail
server.
4. Add the ip address to the "relay for ip addresses" setting in imail.
4. Remove their virtual host from the imail server.
The question i have, is..how do they SEND mail from exchange out to the
internet?
Do they need to define their internet mail connector to connect to the imail
server in some way? Is there something I need to do on my side?
Regards
Kim.
