Thanks for taking the time to answer Jake. I really don't need the servers to synchronize at all. I can manually maintain a user list for chkuser2 on both machines as soon as I figure out where it is looking.
I am just not sure I am communicating effectively to the list what I am trying to do... I can configure the qmailtoaster server to process the inbound email exactly as I had hoped it would. What I don't want to happen is take email message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the correct headers intact and now forwards it to a different server and now it has a new header saying that my first [EMAIL PROTECTED] 'A' forwarded it. So turning on the forward rule in Qmailadmin for each user won't work for me. A mail message <from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED]> Is received and forwarded at a different account on a different server as: <from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED]> If, however, I don't add the domain to locals but just instead just add it to smtproutes. It forwards the email. The problem is it forwards ALL email and does not do any auth recipient check or spam filtering. How do I make the server just forward the email as-is to the main mail server that every body connects to without modifying the original header? ...Or preform the checks and scrub the mail before forwarding good domain messages with smtproutes? Again, I have no reservations in having to add a user to both boxes....

Sorry. You may be able to set Server A up with something like procmail and/or sendmail to process the messages before forwarding them on to Server B. This is a similar setup to what another division of our company does for their Exchange server utilizing LDAP for address lookups, and spam filtering before being delivered to the Exchange machine. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
