Re: [IMail Forum] SMTP forwarding service

[## Dusty Carden]

It is pretty simple Raymond.  If they have a static IP on their mail server simply point their MX records to your Imail server.   theirdomain.com IN MX 10 theirmail.theirdomain.com <-- Their mail server theirdomain.com IN MX 20 yourmail.yourdomain.com <-- Your mail server   If they do not want the rest of the world to send mail directly to their server, simply remove the DNS entry for their server and set yours to a higher priority.   theirdomain.com IN MX 10 yourmail.yourdomain.com <-- Your mail server   On your Imail server do not make any entries for their domain in Imail Admin.   In your hosts file in /Syste,32/Drivers/Etc put entries for the IP of their mail server like this:   10.10.10.1 mail.domain.com domain.com   If you have Imail set to Relay For Addresses in SMTP security add their mail server to these addresses.   When mail is delivered to theirdomain.com it will be sent to the Imail machine.  Imail will refer to the hosts file and attempt to send the mail to the IP listed.  If their server is offline, the message will be held in the spool and delivery attempts will be made as per your settings in the SMTP section of the Imail Control Panel.   Dusty   ----- Original Message ----- From: Raymond Dy To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 18, 1999 9:31 AM Subject: [IMail Forum] SMTP forwarding service Does anyone know hot to setup SMTP forwarding service?
