This is remarkably similar to my google apps for domains needs. If I understand your dilemma, you want certain e-mail accounts to be delivered to the machine running Zimbra, and certain accounts (of the same domain) to be delivered to your exim4 server, correct? If so then the only way is to have one smtp server that initially receives all the mail and then relays it, based on account name, to the appropriate real mail server (which servers won't be actually listening on the internet). This is a bit complicated. I haven't yet figured out the specifics of the smtp server setup required, but this is the general idea. A document that begins to address this for sendmail specifically is http://aput.net/~jheiss/sendmail/proxy.shtml . But dealing with multiple destinations for the same domain is tricky. Now if you each have a different domain, then it becomes a lot easier to route mail based on e-mail domain. I know that it's trivial to do this with sendmail (I'd have to read the docs though). I'm sure exim4 could do it too. > > Scott /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
