[IMail Forum] Rewriting domain during company transition

[scott . huston-econ]

I have an odd need, and need a little understanding of how the Q-File and D-File and used by the SMTP process.

Config:
        IMail is used as a SMTP gateway fronting for some other SMTP servers that store mail for the users and are the SMTP originators for user mail.

My company will be changing domain names.  To facilitate this, we'd like to re-write the domain for outgoing email messages such that mail from [EMAIL PROTECTED] gets rewritten as [EMAIL PROTECTED]  I'm planning on doing this with a script in the IMail server.

What I need to know is whether I should be only changing the message header in the D-File, or whether I need to change the contents of the Q-File, also.

examples:
-------------- old DFILE ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: Tue,  14 Oct 2003 15:34:45 -0700
Message-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
X-Sender: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Subject: test message
X-Mailer: <IMail v8.01>

this is not something to replace [EMAIL PROTECTED]

-------------- new DFILE ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
