Hello everybody, I am a recent convert to Xmail, and have deployed it onto my backup relay. Everything is working well, and I am keen to install the system on my production relay. Before I do however, I'd like to discuss my config with you, to make sure I am doing things right!
Scenario: Lotus Domino servers on inside network, Mail is exchanged with 2 NT mail relays in the DMZ, which face the internet. Relays are hardened (ie all MS services removed, acls tightened, etc.). The requirement is to route all mail for domain aleagroup.com from the internet into the internal Domino servers, and take delivery of all internet-bound mail and send it on to the appropriate location. Currently, the setup I am using is as follows: server.tab RootDomain aleagroup.com postmaster [EMAIL PROTECTED] errors-admin bounce@internal (triggers perl script in mailproc.tab - mentioned above) SmartDNSHost localhost (copy of Bind running locally) custdomains: aleagroup.com.tab: smtprelay "domrelay1,domrelay2" smtprelay.tab "domrelay1" "255.255.255.255" "domrelay2" "255.255.255.255" domains.tab "internal" (used for a bounce@internal address to trigger a script to log delivery errors) This seems to work pretty well - any host can send mail to aleagroup.com, mentioned in custdomains, but only those in smtprelay.tab can send mail to other addresses. Any failure email is sent to the user and a log kept in mailroot\logs as to the failure reason since many of my users aren't the most techinically literate :) Based on that, some questions: 1) Is it appropriate to use customains to route inbound mail like this? I obviously don't want to configure each user on my relays with a forward - just *@aleagroup.com to get sent inbound. 2) Since domains in custdomains do not count as 'relaying' (ie you can send to them if you're not in smtprelay.tab), do they bypass other xmail processes such as filtering? 3) Is there any way that I can add custom actions for particular addresses at aleagroup.com - e.g. can I now that I route all mail for the domain inbound, can I make an exception that says 'for [EMAIL PROTECTED] run script y'? 4) I presume that aleagroup.com shouldn't be in domains.tab, since if I put it in all inbound mail gets a 550 user unknown message. Is this correct? 5) Will xmail run happily using a non previleged account for the service? Any advice would be gratefully received :) Cheers and Happy New Year, Paul - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
