Thanks, Tom. I think this makes it more clear for me. We usually use
Relay for Local users as a default. My concern was whether IMail would
even accept the incoming mail for delivery to the other server at all
unless Relay for Local Hosts is on, and the destination domains are
identified as 'Local Hosts' in the accept.txt file with routing in the
HOST file.... This seems logical to me. But what you are saying is
that the mails will be delivered to the other server even if the
accept.txt is not at all used as a method to identify these as local?
I read this documentation, but it did not seem too explicit on these
issues.
If I have 'Relay for Local Users' on and then remove the accept.txt,
then it will deliver incoming mail to the other server? Is any one
doing it this way for this application? I have not heard this
discussed lately here.
Thanks,
