I am using Symantec Antivirus for SMTP Gateways as a front end. I have the SMTP setting for Imail set to send all remote mail to remote gateway. What I need is a way to have all mail generated from inside my organization (cconnect.net) that is destined to my organization, ie inside mail, to be sent through the same antivirus gateway. I figured someone one this list has already figured this one out.
It isn't possible.
Think about it: If you send E-mail from user1 to user2 on the IMail server, and it *does* go to the Symantec gateway, what will the Symantec gateway do? It will send the scanned E-mail to the IMail server. What does the IMail server then do? Since it is to a local user, it sends it to the Symantec gateway, just like you wanted. You've then got a mail loop.
What you really are looking for is a way for local-to-local E-mail sent from the IMail server to be sent to the gateway, *unless* there is some indication that it has been scanned.
In your case, the best option (without mentioning third party solutions! <G>) would be to [1] Tell users to send their outgoing E-mail (which includes internal E-mail) through the Symantec gateway, and then [2] Set up IMail to only allow connections from the Symantec gateway. This wouldn't scan web messaging E-mail, but I believe it's as close as you can get to what you want, without other third party solutions.
