Well a colleague of mine wanted to put the Mail server one one server and put the mailbox store on another local server so that Xmail would act as a gateway and send all of the messages to the remote store on the internal box. I told him it could not be done in the manner he was wanting to do it. I said setup XMail as a gateway server on the wan and to ahve it forward all incoming mail to another XMail server on the internal lan. Think i have him convinced yet he asked me to find out if this other way could be done...hehehe gotta love partners.
