Here is the case. I want to see if you guys think this is a bug or an error by design.
Scenario. Oulook 2003 with 2 email accounts, one in using as SMTP an Imail Server and another one a non Imail Server. Let's say Yahoo. This test is under a 8.14 version of Imail using SMTP authentication 1.Send an email using the Account that relays in the IMAIL SMTP server. Make sure you specifically send it to a non existing mail box within IMAIL. The domain is hosted in Imail but the mailbox doesn't exist. Example [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2. What happens is that Imail sends a response back saying that the usermailbox doesn't exist and curiously Outlook 2003 then goes to the second Email account configured in their list and sends it via that second email account, in this example case, via Yahoo. The message back from Imail is undetected by the user. You will then get a message back from your second email account mail server saying that user [EMAIL PROTECTED] doesn't exist. Check your Imail logs, you will see 2 tries to deliver a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] One from your first email account (the one that relay in your Imail server) and the second try from your Yahoo account. In both tries, Imail respond that the user doesn't exist. Bug: Why Outlook 2003 sends and email using the second email account when you specifically tell him to use the first email account the one that relays in the Imail Box.? Funny things: Try to do the same as step one but this time send it to a mail box in a domain not hosted in your Imail Server, for example [EMAIL PROTECTED] You will get a response back from your Imail server saying that the message couldn't be delivered - a regular email message-. And Outlook doesn't try to send it using the second email account. Now try to do the same with you yahoo email account. Send an email relaying on yahoo to a yahoo account, let's say [EMAIL PROTECTED] and you won't see Outlook trying to use the second email account (your email account at Imail) trying to send it since it is a non existent account. Outlook only tries to deliver the message using the second email account in your list when you send it via Imail to a non existen mailbox within your Imail Server. Seems like the response given by Imail is likely to be recognized as an exchange response and Outlook tries to send the messsage using the secondary email account at all costs. ______ [Email scanned for viruses] [Email escaneado contra virus] To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
