Bill,Hmm...well, could you simply create the account on the SIMS box, and have it forward to the account on the IMAP server?
Thanks for your response. I have seen your responses before and am impressed at your knowledge in this area. Let me be more specific. I have used SIMS for years with no problem. My domain is spellnetwork.com and I have an MX and A record for mail.spellnetwork.com in my own registered DNS machines and the own domain of SIMS is mail.spellnetwork.com with a router entry spellnetwork.com = mail.spellnetwork.com. I assume this is proper but it has worked for years.
The problem was - I needed an account using IMAP and since SIMS doesn't provide that - I decided to set up an IMAP account using OSXS 10.2.2 (AMS). This account is [EMAIL PROTECTED] so I setup AMS as mail2.spellnetwork.com - gave it an MX record and A record. All other accounts are POP and are located on SIMS. When mail is sent to the spellnetwork.com domain it doesn't know which server to go to and bounces with account not found on this server or some other such error. I took out the DNS entry for mail2 and everything started working properly again.
While it was misconfigured, it sent this error to a mailing list:
Recipient: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Reason: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Recipient Rejected! SMTP server has
delivery restrictions in place. CRAM-MD5 authentication is required.
The problem with this is that lcs is an account on SIMS NOT on AMS. Do you have any ideas?
Actually, you could just do this via the router, like so:
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> = lcs@DNS-name-of-IMAP-server (i.e. [EMAIL PROTECTED])
Just have the mail.spellnetwork.com server in your MX records, so all mail will go through your SIMS server, and for the accounts you specify, be directed to the IMAP server.
Does this help?
