Next step is to set up mercury that it either sends all these e-mails
to our internal mailserver, or our mailserver takes the mails via pop3
protocol from mercury. When i get it done i probably will buy mercury
for our backup mail-system.
If the server can pull via POP3 from a domain mailbox then you can use that. My Mercury NLM server on Netware does not have that capability so I push the mail using a batch file and BASIC program. I'm running the BASIC program compiled now. All this program does is take the CNM files and add the "glue" headers and save it as a 101 file to the Mercury/32 queue. I'm using a third party WAIT.COM program to make this happen every 5 minutes. http://www.plop.at/en/tools.html I've been using this for a few months now for the domain Novell-tstephenson.com and it's works quite well.

REM MX.BAS This program was developed to send mail from a "domain" account to a different
REM server via SMTP. It takes the CNM RFC 2822 message body, extracts the SMTP addresses
REM and then saves it as a 101 file. The CNM import file is a directory listing
REM of the CNM files in the "domain" user account.
