We have something setup similar to what I believe you’re asking for.

 

On our Imail server our email is setup, with all users.  Then on our exchange system (SBS 2003 not 5.5 but should work either way) we have our email setup.

 

To forward mail to the exchange box, we have forwards setup in Imail but for a sub domain, and then add the sub domain addresses as extra mailboxes in exchange.  That way when sending from either exchange or Imail it would show the right sending address, but mail would forward correctly and you can do per mailbox things in Imail since it is your gateway.

 

For Ex:

Email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Sub domain address [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 

Mail from the outside would enter Imail, go through spam/virus processing and then forward the mail to the sub domain address.  Now Imail would lookup the sub domain to see where to send it (we have a host entry on the mail server).  You don’t need an MX record just a host file entry pointing to your exchange server.  Imail sends the mail along to the exchange server.  At the exchange server, it receives the mail and delivers it to the correct mailbox (since the sub domain address is added as an additional email on each mailbox).

 

When replying, exchange would be setup with the correct address as default and would send out accordingly.

 

We’ve had this kind of system setup for some time, works great, no problems.

 

Thanks,

Shaun

Sure there is information.

 

It is called Gateway.

 

There is a KB on it as well as plenty of discussions in the archives.
