Re: [IMail Forum] SMTP forwarding service

[## Dusty Carden]

This will apply to anyone you want to relay mail for. Let's take an example.   mail.remotedomain.com is in Tin-Buk-Tu with a static IP of 10.15.15.1 running Mercury mail server. your.domain.com is in Shaggytown, USA with a static IP of 16.12.13.2   mail.remotedomain.com does not actually need to have dial up connectivity with yourdomain and in this case is actually connected via MCI Worldcom.   In SMTP Security you have selected Relay For Addresses. Under the addresses you list 10.15.15.1 255.255.255.255 which says you will relay mail only for that IP address. You will probably have your blocks in there also. 16.12.13.0 255.255.255.0.   remotedomain.com DNS records.   remotedomain.com IN MX 20 your.domain.com remotedomain.com IN MX 10 mail.remotedomain.com   Your hosts file: 10.15.15.1 remotedomain.com mail.remotedomain.com   With this example mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] will be delivered to mail.remotedomain.com instantly. Okay, but then MCI Worldcom turns out the lights for the weekend.  So mail to that same user is sent to your mail server which will hold it until it is able to deliver it or until the retries exceed the number you have set in SMTP settings.   Dusty ----- Original Message ----- From: Raymond Dy To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 18, 1999 1:04 PM Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] SMTP forwarding service Dusty,   If I have Imail set to Relay For Addresses in SMTP, will this be applicable for clients using Imail Server only? or will this setup work on any mail server like MS Exchange or Mdaemon??   Raymond
