Let me give an illustration (ips not real): IMAIL database that did not work: 1) example.com = public 10.0.0.11 2) public 10.0.0.11:5177 routes to private 192.168.1.11:5177 3) gateway for IMAIL server is private 192.168.1.1 4) but 192.168.1.1 routes to 10.0.0.1 (Not 11) so people could talk to each other under this scenario but no one could see what they were typing. The error in the log was that the IM was trying to push message to 10.0.0.11 which is the public incoming. I never could figure out a way to fix this. And I spent a couple of days trying. IM that does work: 1) made im.example.com = public 10.0.0.1 2) 10.0.0.1:5177 routes to 192.168.1.11:5177 (any ip on the IM box - doesn't matter) 3) changed the IM gateway name to im.example.com Everything works. But have to set up all users manually. That wouldn't be so bad if there was some kind of command line tool or interface. Maybe there is and it just hasn't been announced.
