This scripts that Sandy has developed are to create a local virtual domain of a gatewayed or S&F domain that currently exists. > 2) I'm unfamiliar with IMail's ability to do envelope rejection based on > LDAP data.

The local Imail database for the local domain which is "pinch hitting" for the gatewayed domain is updated with the appropriate aliases each time the script is run.
