While I plan and test migrating our current mail data to iMail, I would like to use iMail as the front-end SMTP server for our existing system. At first, it seems simple enough:
1) add an IP address to the iMail server
2) set up a virtual domain on that IP address, but don't add any user accounts
3) configure iMail/SMTP to use a remote gateway to deliver mail to the old server after 'x' number of tries. (Is the "Gate Host" setting a better choice here?)
One thing that I want to be sure of is that iMail won't mis-direct mail for similarly named accounts. For example, right now the imail server is servicing 'domain1.com' and 'domin2.com', each with a user account named 'gary', and iMail correctly delivers the mail based on the full name ('[EMAIL PROTECTED], etc). When I set up 'domain3.com' as described above, when mail comes in for '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', will iMail forward it to the old server, or will it try to deliver it to the "primary" domain?
