Sandy, I'm having problems in getting this working on a test machine. I'm missing some obvious step...
Recap: My production environment is such that I run IMail+Declude as my gateway, in front of an Exchange 2000 environment, so I'm a good candidate for using your exchange2aliases script. We gateway a half dozen domains through the IMail gateway, and some of those have a relatively small userbase, so I'll start with testing one of those. In the production environment, the SMTP addresses for a user are [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] etc. and not in the Active Directory, i.e. not something like [EMAIL PROTECTED] I installed a fresh copy of IMail v8.12 on the test machine. For the "Official Host Name" I chose the same as my production box, mail.bentall.com and it is listening on the local, non-routeable IP, which is the only IP on the test machine. I then added a host, gave it an "Official Host Name" of "storeforward.mydomain.com" and a "Host Alias" of "mydomain.com" and set it as a virtual host so that I wouldn't have to give it a unique IP. Then I added an entry to the test machine's "hosts." file so that it knew that 192.168.116.100 is the IP for the internal Exchange 2000 that is our current gateway, e.g. "192.168.116.100 mydomain.com" Then I set the log format to SYDMMDD.txt and turn on the Debug and Verbose options. Then I ran exchange2alias like so: cscript exchange2aliases.vbs storeforward.mydomain.com LDAP://10.192.0.1/cn=users,dc=bentall,dc=local mydomain.com mydomain.com I could then view all the lovely aliases in IMail. I then used a command line utility, postie, to send a simple message to that test IMail server, with a bogus to: address: postie -host:192.168.116.25 -to:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -from:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -s:"This is the subject" -msg:"This is the body." -v:9 The message is refused. Joy! I then used a command line utility, postie, to send a simple message to that test IMail server, with a valid to: address: postie -host:192.168.116.25 -to:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -from:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -s:"This is the subject" -msg:"This is the body." -v:9 The message is accepted (joy!), and the IMail log shows that it is queued, but also this: 11:13 19:24 SMTP-(0000000000000000) Info - Adding Queue file C:\IMail\spool\Qcff500b70dc64580.SMD 11:13 19:24 SMTP-(cff500b70dc64580) processing C:\IMail\spool\Qcff500b70dc64580.SMD 11:13 19:24 SMTP-(cff500b70dc64580) ERR alias loop in [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11:13 19:24 SMTP-(cff500b70dc64580) finished C:\IMail\spool\Qcff500b70dc64580.SMD status=1 that there is an alias loop (boo!) and the message evaporates from the spool folder. I've spent a *lot* of time on this now with a multitude of combinations, and it's just not working. I've tried a real host IP, I've tried adding the "host alias" to the primary OHN that I had created for our default domain, and ... What am I missing!?
