Hello, Reading this message looks like something for me also. I do have one question though. If I offloaded SMTP completly, would i set it up this way?
Server A: Imail (POP, IMAP, WEB) Server B: Mailbox Storage Server C: SMTP (send and receive) Have Server C get all incoming email and go thru network share to Server B to put it in the box, and have Server A for where people check there mail? As you have read in the past , load and amount of received email is causing me a problem also.
