What are your relay options set to in smtp security?  If you only relay for
addresses you need to add the IP of the mail server to the list.

Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Store and Forward


Bob,

Pay attention to Len on this subject.  There's a lot of confusion going on
in this thread due to the lack of differentiation between 'store and
forward' and 'outbound relay'.

We provide 'store and forward' services for many domains.  When I add a new
domain I do the following: First I add a record to the IMail server's HOST
file with the ip of the mail server I'm forwarding to.  That's ALL I do.
When the customer adds or changes their DNS entries and adds an MX which
points to my IMail server, store and forward relaying begins.  END OF STORY.
Nothing else is required!

'Outbound Relay" is another issue with different things to be done.  You
said that you don't want to do this so I'm not going to cover those simple
steps here.

For your relaying objective, bogus.com is useless. Why have you done this?

exchange.domain.  MX mx1.imailbox.com.

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.

what? how about telling us the real domain names so we aren't confused by
your confusion.

only necessary if you set the Exchange Internet Connector to relay out
through Imail. else, useless.

Follow the Imail manual and my instructions carefully, and it will work.
