Josh,
I've talked to their IT person and he could write a simple whitelist
rule to allow our mail into the system but his manager refuses.
Other mail from our server gets through without a problem its just
that iMail truthfully tells who the original mail is "from" but yet
the fwd no longer retains the senders IP address since iMail
recreates a new file in the forward process. So if truthfulness be
told the fwd "does" come from our server but yet iMail still notes
the original sender whos domain no longer matches the sending server IP.
I guess this type of thing could hurt anyone who fwd emails to
another of their accounts if security crackdowns continue to progress.
I'm trying to figure a way for the fwd to say it's from the account
fwd'd from. This would allow the email to pass the security check
that is seeing the email come from a different server than the one
linked to the senders account.

Hey Stephen,
Could you get this company to send you the log that IronMail
generates for each incoming e-mail so you can see what points these
emails are receiving for each filter? I have done a lot of work
with getting Imail to play nice with IronMail and these logs are
extremely valuable. If you can get the log I can probably help you
reduce your points to where your e-mails won’t get quarantined or
deleted. There are some general things you should have in place
that will help:
1. a valid SPF record
2. make sure your OHN in Imail matches your MX record
3. make sure your reverse DNS resolves properly
I’ve found that if these are in place that you should be able to
get through the filter, even on a forward, without getting
quarantined. This depends on how aggressively the company has
configured their filters though as well. If you get the log, post
what you are being flagged for and we can go from there.
