You could set up one IMail server as the front end for the domain and peer
it to the other exchange servers. Just make sure you have the exchange smart
hosting setup correctly to allow mails destined to the same domain but on a
different exchange server to go through the IMail server

It might be easier to set up aliases on the Imail box.
Set up each Exchange box with a separate third level domain, like
nyc.domain.com. These don't have to be public in your DNS servers, but the
Exchange server in each case needs to be set to accept mail for its unique
domain.
Set up the IPs of the Excghnage boxes in the hosts file on your Imail box.
Then set up the Imail box with an alias fpr each user. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
might alias to [EMAIL PROTECTED], etc.
No need for POP connectors, and the maintenance is no more complicated
this way than the method you suggested.

Subject: [IMail Forum] OT: Multiple locations same domain...
I have a client who has multiple locations across North America, each
location is running an Exchange Server but using a seperate domain. They
now want to use a single domain for all mail and their thought is to set
up
a gateway server that would receive the mail and route it to the
appropriate
recipient location. I have suggested they set up a server running
something
like Imail as the gateway and create all the mailboxes on that server,
then
use a pop3 connector with the individual exchange servers to have each
location exchange server pick up the mail.
I am looking to the list to see if there are alternatives that I am
missing.
They have about 250 mailboxes right now.
Thanks for any suggestions.
