Sandy,

If I could pump in any list of address (not just locally hosted), and also wildcard domains, and do it fully within IMail, I would definitely be interested.  I've been chasing the ORF route, but despite it's leanness, it still has to handle the message with a separate process and that creates overhead, not to mention a separate product to support and possibly have fail.

One of the issues that would be a deal breaker for me though is if it relied on LDAP lookups from a separate server instead of caching the info locally.  There are bound to be outages and you don't want for your primary LDAP server to go down and have that render your gateways useless.  If a legitimate E-mail gets an error for an invalid account in IMail, it is bounced back by the sending server.  With ORF you can actually set up temporarily unavailable replies in order to handle transient failures.  I don't know that IMail allows for that type of customization or functionality.

Actually,  I  can tell you that running IMail/JunkMail as the actual
gateway  is  a  pretty  bad idea at the moment. You really need some
other product to do the address validation for the recipients on the
gateway  and  drop  the  bad  stuff before scanning it.
    

I could likely adapt Exchange2aliases (currently for IMail gateways in
front  of  Exchange  mailboxes)  for  IMail-to-IMail setups using 8.12
OpenLDAP. Let me know if any are interested.
