Len, I tried this myself a week or so ago and got similar results (actually a mail loop - it was painful). Any chance there's something going on here that we don't know about that could cause this result? I would like to be able to offload my outgoing mail to my Postfix box, but until I learn something different I'm not going to try it again.
If I get a chance to try it again I will hunt down the Imail logs and send them in. I can say that when I set the outgoing server, all mail - no matter where it was bound - immediately started bouncing between servers. From the postfix log, the IMail server dropped it off, the postfix server tried to deliver it back to the Imail box, and the Imail box refused saying the message had been there before. I wasn't pressed so I just turned it off. I hope some of this info is helpful. _M | -----Original Message----- | From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Len Conrad | Sent: Wednesday, March 06, 2002 5:41 PM | To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] Remote Gateway Option | | | | >We have set the 'remote gateway' option active and | >entered the IP address of the second mail server. | | ok | | >Unfortunately, IMail insists on sending all mail (even | >mail within local domains) out the gateway and then | >back in. | | no, Imail sends mail out the gateway only if it's not local. | | >Is my interpretation of the *remote* gateway function | >incorrect? | | I think maybe what's incorrect is what you see happening.
