I want to use it because my SMTP and queue manager get bogged down at times and stop accepting connections, thus resulting in latency.

Kind of a tough question, since we don't know what you're aware of. :) All you need is another box that will relay mail from your IMail box by IP and which is capable of performing remote deliveries--i.e. has working DNS servers and proper EHLO/PTR/A records as expected for any mail server making outbound connections over the Internet (like your current server). > I want all remote mail to go to this remote gateway for delivery. The corresponding setting is pretty easy to find--'Send all remote mail through....' > If I have this option in use, will that disable the SMTP auth that I > am using now (no relay) No. A server's use of an upstream gateway (a.k.a. smart host) to perform remote delivery is not related to whether the server will/will not relay for its connecting clients. Are you sure you know *why* you want to use a remote gateway host? It seems like you're kinda unclear on the resulting environment. -Sandy ------------------------------------ Sanford Whiteman, Chief Technologist Broadleaf Systems, a division of Cypress Integrated Systems, Inc. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------ To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/ To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
