Thanks for the email. What you are saying does make sense. We have 1 domain with over 2500 accounts, and the other 3 have no more than 100 each. I don't really want to have an additional 2500 accounts in the other domains, even if they won't be accessed.
Thanks for the help....maybe I'll have to look another solution...?

Depends on what you mean. IMail will, in a sense, OVER-distinguish. Each AD user will have a mailbox @ each virtual host. If you don't have any overlapping usernames (that is, you don't have [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED]) and are willing to deal with the knowledge that there will be unused mailboxes that will still accept mail at the envelope, you may be happy with the setup. > If Imail could use Active Directory then I could simply create separate OU's > for each of the domains and then direct Imail as to which OU to use for each > domain. No go. All OUs will be used, as IMail uses the downlevel SAM API, which flattens the namespace. > Has anyone been able to accomplish anything similar to this? I'd be > interested to hear. With extensive custom programming, it is possible. We did this several years ago using LDAP and were fairly happy with it -- then the clients moved to Exchange, which eliminated the need for the custom solution, as IMail was became just a store-and-forward server (and thus exchange2aliases was born). --Sandy ------------------------------------ Sanford Whiteman, Chief Technologist Broadleaf Systems, a division of Cypress Integrated Systems, Inc. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SpamAssassin plugs into Declude! http://www.imprimia.com/products/software/freeutils/SPAMC32/download/release / Defuse Dictionary Attacks: Turn Exchange or IMail mailboxes into IMail Aliases! http://www.imprimia.com/products/software/freeutils/exchange2aliases/downloa d/release/ http://www.imprimia.com/products/software/freeutils/ldap2aliases/download/re lease/ 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/
