I have tried the Hosts file...no glory The result is the mail will sit in each server's queue until times out. On exchange the error is unable to resolve [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Imail the log file is below:
7:03 12:18 SMTP-(06B8005C) SMTP_DELIV_FAILED 07:03 12:18 SMTP-(06B8005C) >QUIT 07:03 12:18 SMTP-(06B8005C) rl-recv: connection aborted Now, this is running behind a MS ISA firewall, but all external email domain resolution works fine. thanks for the responses folks!! -----Original Message----- From: Len Conrad [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 03, 2003 1:45 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] Exchange 2k and Imail >exchange accounts. Why would both these machines send and receive email >from any domain on the Net, but not to each other. There's nothing magic here. The first question is DNS. How do Exchange and IMail resolve @recipient.domain for the other server's recipients? The will each query DNS to find the MX for recipient.domain. If you are on a RFC1918 net, and don't have private IP zone files, then you can short-circuit DNS resolution with Windows hosts file: ip.ad.re.ss exchange.domain # in Imail's hosts file and ip.ad.re.ss imail.domain # in Exchange's hosts file The above are variables, you have to fill in the real IPs and domain names, one line for every domain.
