Forwarding to a second server

Do I just add the address of the second server to the smtp gateway host and turn off POP3? Yup, that's how my system is configured. (Both of my servers are IMS; the outer one does filtering; the inner one handles POP and mailing lists (DOLIST). Randy. I am about to go down this route and would like some clarification. Does the "Outer" IMS  need both SMTP Receiver and Delivery while the "Inner" IMS needs Receiver, Delivery and POP3 services? The IMS help files say the following: SMTP Gateway Host You can specify the host name (or the IP address) of an SMTP server to which all non-local mail will be sent. This may be useful if for instance you are using IMS within a company which stipulates that all outside mail must go through a company-wide mail gateway. Default: no gateway. This confuses me as it appears to apply only to outgoing mail, not incoming.  But Randy is suggesting that it can also be used for incoming mail. So you add the Inner IMS server address to the SMTP Gateway host of the Outer IMS server.  This will forward all incoming mail from Outer to Inner.  But what if you want pass outgoing mail through the same filters; i.e through Outer IMS ? How do you do configure the Client, Outer and Inner to do this? Purely internal mail from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] never gets filtered. Yes?? I am  using Mike's SMTPRCV. should this be used on both Inner and Outer or what? SMTPRCV  has an option on the General tab for Allow Relaying.  Should this option be selected instead of or as well as the SMTP gateway host on the IMS control panel? If so on which Inner or Outer?  Sorry if this is confused; but so am I! David
