All, I've posted exchange2aliases, a VBScript that helps automate the cumbersome task of rejecting unknown users for remote domains. The script is designed specifically for those running IMail MXs, with or without Declude, in front of Exchange mailbox servers.
In order to use the script, you first change your remote domains from classical store-and-forward domains with no local presence (save a HOSTS entry) to IMail virtual hosts with no users, a simple change. You'd then create a new recipient policy for your Exchange organization that allows users to receive mail at, for example, exchange.example.com in addition to their primary address at example.com (many Exchange setups already have such a policy in place because they use a .local AD domain). Make sure that IMail sees the MX for exchange.example.com as the Exchange server's internal IP, or hard-code the mailroute in HOSTS if you want. When you then run Exchange2aliases, either scheduled or ad hoc, it will scan all of the Exchange addresses for AD and SMTP domains you specify and create corresponding IMail aliases for each--thus allowing for envelope rejection on the IMail box. By default, exchange2aliases clears and replaces the entire _aliases table in IMail every time you run it, which would typically be the preferred behavior, but this behavior may be disabled using a command-line switch. The exchange2aliases command-line options are visible by running 'cscript exchange2aliases.vbs' after your download. Please post support questions as [OT] to the IMail or Declude forums to create a public archive. Regards, Sandy P.S.
