forwarding service
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.
