Hi all. I need my memories refreshed a little bit. Is it possible to set up Imail server as an SMTP front-end (say in front of an Exchange server) and have it relay all inbound mail?
My thinking is that first of all Imail would have to have the local domain name, otherwise it would reject all inbound messages with "550 not a local domain". But once it has the local domain name, it will just trap all the messages. I guess on a user-by-user basis forwarding could be setup like [EMAIL PROTECTED] -> [EMAIL PROTECTED] but that's a pain in the butt to administrate, plus the Exchange server would have to have exchange.mydomain.com defined on it, and exchange.mydomain.com would have to be able to be resolved (creating a zone in local DNS or playing with HOSTS files). I think I remember from some time ago that it is possible to just set up a HOSTS file on the Imail server pointing mydomain.com to the IP address of the Exchange server and that would make Imail believe that mydomain.com is a "good" domain, just not located ON the Imail server. Does this work? Thanks!
