I have a few more questions. In your original question you said this: > I have setup TMDA for a client of ours. The TMDA box acts as a relay in > front of their Exchange Server. 1) What MTA are you using on the TMDA front end box? How is it configured to send all email through TDMA? 2) How is TMDA set up? What does the incoming filter look like? What does the ~/.tmda/config file look like? 3) Does the MTA make the decision to forward the email onto the exchange server or does TMDA do that? In other words, where is the rule that says all email through me goes to the exchange server? Is that rule in the MTA or in TMDA? My suspiscion is that the MTA on the TMDA front end box is what's doing the splitting. The MTA sees an email from A destined to A,B,C. If the MTA is going into delivery mode, it will try to deliver a seperate copy to A, a seperate copy to B, and a seperate copy to C. The MTA would do this if it thinks that it's the destination for users A, B, and C. In order to get TMDA involved, I would suspect that you'd have to tell the MTA to *deliver* email for all users to TMDA. As soon as you do this, TMDA is going to get seperate copies. You can verify this by sending an email to multiple recipients and looking in LOGFILE_INCOMING. (See: http://tmda.net/config-vars.html#LOGFILE_INCOMING) However, if the MTA stays out of delivery mode and stays in routing mode, I think it will try to consolidate delivery to a single host. I.e. if the email is to: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], then the MTA will try and deliver a single email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] and a seperate email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The problem with this is that if the MTA stays in routing mode, I don't know how you'd manage to get TMDA involved at all. Hence my questions are directed at understanding if the MTA goes into delivery mode or not. If it does, than that's probably the source of your problem. If it doesn't, then I want to know how you did it. Cheers, -Mark _____________________________________________ tmda-users mailing list ([email protected]) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-users
