Greetings all,

I'm currently running IMail 6.06 on NT4S.  I want to be able to direct mail
for a non-local e-mail domain to a specific IP address rather than what
IMail finds using DNS and MX records for the non-local e-mail domain.  I've
tried entering a record in the local IMail server 'hosts' file to associate
the hostname of the only MX record for the non-local e-mail domain to the
IP address I wanted the mail to be directed to without success.  It looks
like IMail doesn't check its 'hosts' file when resolving records.

Note that the IMail server is not trying to relay incoming e-mail for the
non-local e-mail domain but only trying to direct outgoing mail from local
users to the right external server.  This requirement arose because both my
IMail server and this other non-IMail mail server are behind the same
firewall.  The IP address for the MX record for the other mail server is
bound to the outside interface of the firewall and the IMail server cannot
access it due to limitations on the firewall.  I do know the internal
private IP address of the other mail server which the MX record IP address
NATs to through the firwall.  And I want to direct or route the non-local
mail for that domain name from the IMail server to that IP address

tia,

Richard
