This all got me thinking about something that I was looking at a few months ago. After knocking the dust off, I found something interesting. SIMS *WILL* accept mail addressed user%domain@[IPaddress] or user@domain@[IPaddress] if IPaddress is in SIMS' client host list - even if it's its own address. And when it does, you see that "will be relayed to a client" message. Now in my case, that address is actually the address of the NAT router which passes all port 25 traffic on to SIMS (the internal address of the SIMS server is 192.168.1.3) it seems to go into an infinite loop since it want to treat "user@domain" or "user%domain" as the username and keeps relaying it to itself. Finally, it concludes it's seen the message too many times and bounces it. More interesting, I get that same "will be relayed to a client" if I send to user@domain@[192.168.1.x] where x is any number other than 3. When I make it 192.168.1.3, I get "we do not relay". All of 192.168.1.1-192.168.1.255 is in the Client Hosts list. So, it looks like user@domain@[IPaddress] is enabled in SIMS as a poor-man's routing to a client host but SIMS is smart enough to recognize when that's tried to its own address. But that also makes me think the problem Paul is having shouldn't be happening. Yet based on what he's saying, somewhere the @[IPaddress] is getting stripped off and the mail is getting relayed. I'm not sure what, if anything, this has added to the discussion. :-( -- Larry Stone [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.stonejongleux.com/ ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
