If a message is trying to be sent to an outside site and the site responds with an error, SMTPDS will generate a reject message. Being the delivery service, SMTPDS will attempt to deliver this message on its own. It will not go back to the receiver service or the incoming directory. The SMTPDS (D) and remote (R) SMTP dialog should look something like D: HELO host.local.domain<br> R: 251 HELO mx.remote.domain D: MAIL FROM: [EMAIL PROTECTED]<br> R: 250 OK D: RCPT-TO: [EMAIL PROTECTED]<br> R: 502 user not known D: QUIT SMTPDS then generates a bounce message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To get SMTPDS to send the message back to the receiver service to allow plugin1 to work, it has to be convinced that b.c is not one of the domains that it should accept mail for. So in the IMS control panel, dont put b.c in the accept mail for. To get this to work system wide, all your incoming public domains have to be aliased to "something else" and the IMS control panel "accept mail for" only has to accept "something else" Plugin1 has the # symbol to remap the domain part of the address. eg "[EMAIL PROTECTED]","[EMAIL PROTECTED]" So if b.c and my.real.domain are the real incoming domains, I would 1. setup smtprcv to accept b.c and my.real.domain 2. setup ims control panel to accept [ip.ad.dr.es] 3. setup plugin1 for "[EMAIL PROTECTED]","[EMAIL PROTECTED]" "[EMAIL PROTECTED]","[EMAIL PROTECTED]" klint.
