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.

Hello everybody,
I'm trying to configure ONE domain mailbox for the whole domain. All emails for this domain shall land on this one mailbox. But I dont get it [:P]

This is what I have done so far:

Running Mercury/32, v4.62 since a few days on Windows Server2003, fix public IP-Adress and domain ('example.com', no thats not the real domain name [:)]), MX-entry is set.

On Mercury-site:
Mercury, Core module: Adding the local domain 'example.com' and the correspondig user at Configuration=>Manage Local Users . Your help-file says the following about configuring a domain mailbox:

Domain mailboxes:

Mercury supports the idea of a domain mailbox, or a mailbox that accepts mail addressed to any user at a given domain. To create a domain mailbox, first create the user account that is to receive all mail addressed to the domain, then place an entry in the Domains recognized as local by this server section in the following format:

    DM=username        domain address

username can be any valid reference to a single local user on your system. So, to create a domain mailbox where user mailserver receives all mail addressed to any user in the domain fish.net, you would create this entry:

DM=mailserver        fish.net

With this entry in place, mail sent to [any address]@fish.net will be delivered into user mailserver's mailbox.

I opened the mercury.ini and added the following lines under the [Domains]-section

    mailserver     mailserver
    mailserver     mail.example.com
    mailserver     [XXX.XXX.XXX.XX]
DM=username        domain address
DM=mailserver        fish.net

Everytime I send a test-message to that domain, I get an automated reply which says that the user <test@example.com> or any other user is not known at this site.
I want to allow all mails for incoming, no matter if the user exists or not...

What am I missing?

Any help would be highly appreciated..

regards..,

I opened the mercury.ini and added the following lines under the [Domains]-section

    mailserver     mailserver
    mailserver     mail.example.com
    mailserver     [XXX.XXX.XXX.XX]
DM=username        domain address
DM=mailserver        fish.net

Looks like you may have missed the ":" and/or the actual creation of the username.  Here's one that works for me.

Aaaawww [:D]

That was the point. I forgot indeed the ":". Thank you [;)]

Ok, my domain section looks like the following now and works:

[Domains]
mailserver: mail
mailserver: mail.example.com
mailserver: [XX.XXX.XXX.XX]
DM=user: example.com

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.

Thanks for your help!
