The alias target domain is an internal routing domain that (a) is not local to IMail, (b) IMail knows how to send to via HOSTS or DNS, and (c) Exchange will accept mail for. This can be a new domain that you add via Exchange Recipient Policy (one-time add that cascades to all users), or the kludgy but workable [EMAIL PROTECTED], where 1.2.3.4 is the IP address of the Exchange box. --Sandy ------------------------------------ Sanford Whiteman, Chief Technologist Broadleaf Systems, a division of Cypress Integrated Systems, Inc. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------ To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/ To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
