I'm actually interested to hear what others have to say about this. I started out trying to do this exact same thing, and realized that I didn't want to take the time/effort to figure it out completely. But, what I did come up with on my very own :) was that I would have to have a separate instance of postfix running on a different port (such as 26) and have my Imail box forward all outbound mail to port 26. I'm not all that versed in postfix, so I just found it easier to go ahead and let Imail do the delivery. I think this would do what you want it to do, but you may want to wait and hear from some other more experienced answers. Thanks, Russ --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Virus]
