Thanks Terry,

That sounds like it will do exactly what I need it to: The MX record for
the domain points to messagelabs I then get messagelabs to relay the
mails to the first SMTP server using the nonstandard port this server
then relays it on to IMAIL using port 25 and everyone is happy.

Cheers for your help

Pat

    You can configure MS SMTP server for both incoming and outgoing
    ports and IP's. It has a "smart host" capability as well.  (The
    outgoing port means the port it will send to - not the actual port
    it uses - which will be a normal hi number port) (The incoming
    port is the port it listens on - changing to something other than
    25 - makes it useless for Internet mail based on MX records)

    As far as I know IMAIL still listens on all IP's but the listening
port
    can be changed.  I don't know how to change the port for outgoing
    although it may certainly be possible.

    But you should be able to accomplish what you want with any of the
    3 servers.

    Yes.
