It's no more pain with google apps than with your other system. Once we get this proxy thing figured out, it can easily be adapted to work with google's stuff. But back to your original problem... > > Well, I could easily register a different domain, but can I have two domains > here, currently 'fyrenice.com' for my exim4 managed box, and then something > else, a new domain for the Zimbra-managed box?

You'd still need an smtp proxy, or at least a server that knows to relay the other domain. Something you might try is setting up a subdomain of fyrenice.com. One you won't actually use for public e-mail. Then in your mail proxy you take the [EMAIL PROTECTED] you want to go to exim4 and say it's an aliases for [EMAIL PROTECTED], which you can easily handle using a relay table (matches domains with relay servers). So the message would hit your proxy, be matched in the aliases table, and then be routed to the proper smtp server, according to the entry in the relay table (I'm using sendmail terms here, but exim could probably do it too). This little trick would work with google apps too; I'm working on that. Note that you don't need a third smtp server. Your exim4 could be the main MX for your domain and your subdomain. Since exim4 would be set to understand it handles, say, @exim.fyrenice.com addresses, messages that resolve via the alias table to @exim.fyrenice.com are delivered local, but relays everything else to your Zimbra.
