I see other posts relating to this topic but I cannot find a definitive
answer. We wish to use Imail as a gateway for "incoming" mail only in
front of Exchange.
Exchange.domain. MX 10 mx1.imailbox.com.
We have created only a bogus host name within Imail
called bogus.com.
For your relaying objective, bogus.com is useless. Why have you done this?
Modified the MX record for the real domain to point to
the Imail box.
exchange.domain. MX mx1.imailbox.com.
Created a host file entry on the Imail box to point to
the Exchange box
ip.ad.re.ss exchange.domain
(MX resolution on the Imail box
Imail doesn't use DNS MX lookups when relaying. The Imail SMTP client
resolves the A record of the exchange.domain via the hosts file, not DNS.
for the real domain correctly points to the Exchange box as a result).
what? how about telling us the real domain names so we aren't confused by
your confusion.
We have enabled "Relay Mail for"
and included the IP of the Exchange box.
only necessary if you set the Exchange Internet Connector to relay out
through Imail. else, useless.
Yet email destined for the real domain is still denied "not a gateway" at
the Imail box.
Follow the Imail manual and my instructions carefully, and it will work.
