Hi all, I need a bit of help! We've recently added an IMS connector to one of our servers and configured it for Incoming only. An SMTP relay server then pokes mail through port 25 to pass to exchange mail boxes. This all works ok and was created soley to receive mail from a new e-banking network.
The problem is that outgoing SMTP addressed mail should NOT go to the IMS, since it should use our x400 backbone. This is because there is no Internet connection available for the connector yet. Over the last week or so, users have started complaining that Internet mail is not getting out. Tracking specific messages show that the mail appears to hit the IMS. Since it has no Internet connection it cannot go anywhere. However, other messages successfully hit the X400 and get out to the Internet as planned. My questions are thus: I have enabled logging on the IMS, but where do they get stored? Event logs have nothing. Can the tracking.logs be interpreted by an application to make them easier to understand? Why would any mail hit the IMs at all if it is configured for Inbound only? Under the Address Space Tab, we set the cost to 100 and the scope to Location. I just read about troubleshooting outgoing mail, and it mentioned that if Address is too restrictive it will play a part. It suggests setting t to *. * is the default and is what ours was. Thinking this might be a key, I have set it to a fictitious domain of .nowhereatall. My thinking is that any mail NOT destined for .nowhereatall will automatically be routed via x400 and not IMS. Does this sound correct? What do the Delivery Restrictions do/apply to? I could accept mail from no-one, but would this affect the incoming from e-banking? If anyone has any ideas, please advise.
