You do not need the domain setup on IMail for this.  Simply remove the domain from IMail and make sure that your Relay for Addresses settings include the IPs for your web servers.     ----- Original Message ----- From: David Ladiges To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 19, 2003 2:48 PM Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Forwarding mail to client servers Actually, more of the reverse situation. I want to use Imail to do infrequent mail sending from a  domain, but I don't want to accept mail destined for the domain (that should go the external server that has the MX record pointed towards it.) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of William Lefkovics Sent: Wednesday, March 19, 2003 11:43 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] Forwarding mail to client servers This is an older doc, but is this along the lines of what you need? http://support.ipswitch.com/kb/im-19980119-dd12.htm   William   ----- Original Message ----- From: David Ladiges To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 19, 2003 11:29 AM Subject: [IMail Forum] Forwarding mail to client servers I am fairly new to Imail so let me know if I am missing something obvious here, let me know. We are running a small web hosting operation, and we have a few clients that have external servers (Exchange,etc) and prefer to use those over our Imail server. Our hosting software automatically sets up an Imail account for the domain (and the account is used to send email from the clients website). This works fine for them when we set them up with pointing the MX record for the their domain to their external server, but we run into problems with other customers sending mail to them.  Imail delivers to local accounts before checking the DNS entries that show the email should be deliver externally.Since the email addresses the clients send to exist externally and not locally, they get frequent bounces due to the accounts not found by Imail. Is there a way we can use Imail to send mail from a domain, but not deliver to that domain? I have tried setting up host file entries, hoping that those would be seen before the DNS entries, but I didn't see a change from this. Any ideas on this would be appreciated.
