>I have iMail and Exchange 5.5 running in the same location (all users have >the same @domain.com but the Exchange box is actually corp.domain.com)
so each user has a mailbox imail @domain.com and another mailbox @corp.domain.com? or does ex think it's domain is also @domain.com? > and I want the iMail box to forward emails destined for the Exchange > users. Currently, I have to create an alias in iMail for each Exchange > user that points the @domain.com to @corp.domain.com. you mean a forwarding rule? an alias in imail would be [EMAIL PROTECTED] with alias of [EMAIL PROTECTED] That is still just one mailbox in Imail. with forwarding by imail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] gets fowarded to [EMAIL PROTECTED] That's two separate mailboxes on two separate mailbox servers, no aliasing. once the mail is delivered to an imail mailbox, it stops there. Exchange can't read it. > Is it possible to configure iMail to try the Exchange box instead of > creating these aliases? Imail will only relay mail, as corp's primary MX host, to @corp.exchange.com if Imail doesn't have a domain (or aliases) @corp.domain.com. The imail manual explains how to set Imail up for relaying (aka store/forward). The suggested ETRN by exchange will work is exchange has a fixed ip but intermittant connection to internet. if exchange is permanently connected, Imail will relay immediately all @corp mail, no ETRN needed by exchange.
