Instead of attempting to spool mail and transfer to a dialup exchange server using ETRN, etc., we have always had much better luck using the POP3 connector. Basically it works like so: - add the domain to Imail, create a single user mailbox. - either 1) add a nobody alias pointing at the single user mailbox, or 2) add aliases for each exchange user, pointing them to the emailbox on your imail server. - configure Exchange's pop3 connector to login whenever they want - and download the mail from the pop3 mailbox on your imail box. - Exchange can sort to the individual exchange mailboxes based on the original To: headers. Our experience has been that POP3 is much more reliable than ETRN is. :-) FWIW, we don't have too many users doing this anymore - but it does seem to work fine for those that do. Most either have dedicated connections (and therefore don't need our spooling, or just need us as a backup mx), or don't really need the features of exchange and just use our email. Hope this helps! - Tony >-----Original Message----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Kevin Coveney >Sent: Wednesday, December 18, 2002 6:30 PM >To: List IMAIL >Subject: [IMail Forum] OT: Exchange2000 & ETRN with Imail spooling. > > >Hello: > >We have a customer moving their offices and their new leased line will not >be installed for another couple of weeks.
