The local topology and routing is essential, as where you place dns and how you point dns records to avoid using the uplink.
You should start a new thread about this, and be a bit more clear about the network topology first.
Hi everyone:
This is my first time on this forum, and the first weeks trying to use mercury!
I have deployed an intranet and one of its functionalities requires that a mail be sent to both a mail account under ms exchange server (internal mail account) and an external mail (gmail account)
Is there any way to do this with mercury/32?
thanks very much in advance for your help

Could you be more specific about what you are trying to accomplish? Provide as many details are you can with real data.
There are two ways to do this.
One by filtering rule. For the user in question set up a filtering rule, that copies the mail to a local account, then continues processing of inbound email.
The other is if there are more than one domain in play, f.ex. mydomain.com and mydomain.local - then you can besides the above, forward the email to two different mail addresses.
Thirdly you can do this by setting up mailing lists - but for individual users this is really not to recommend, since you end up with a lot of lists in the end.
That's interesting - can I clarify if it will work in my context?
We're in the African bush with a very low bandwidth monthly limit (100MB per user total up and down per month) and I want any email going to our own domain (i.e. to a colleague) to NOT go up and down the satellite using up our bandwidth. If I set up a filter on emails being sent, on the TO: and CC: lines that will deliver the email to local mail boxes and then not send it on the relay email server? I'm a virgin at this, so I hope I made sense.
