Re[4]: [IMail Forum] Store and Forward

[Len Conrad]

Thanks,  Tom.  I think this makes it more clear for me. We usually use
Relay for Local users as a default.

so, you are strictly an intranet mail server?

My concern was whether IMail would
even  accept the incoming mail for delivery to the other server at all
unless  Relay  for  Local Hosts is on

You concern should be that it won't relay at all if you don't set it up the way Imail doc says to do it.

, and the destination domains are
identified as 'Local Hosts' in the accept.txt file with routing in the
HOST  file....  This  seems  logical to me.

but it's wrong

 But what you are saying is
that  the  mails  will  be  delivered  to the other server even if the
accept.txt  is not at all used as a method to identify these as local?

really, go RTFM, the list archives, the KB, and this thread.

If  I  have 'Relay for Local Users' on and then remove the accept.txt,
then  it  will  deliver  incoming mail to the other server? Is any one
doing  it  this  way  for  this  application?  I  have  not heard this
discussed lately here.

because relay for local hosts/users is not used by choice because it's a huge vulnerability nor by recommendation, only by force.
