Problem outgoing mail with local domain To: address

[quote user="CitizenA"]

Current workaround is a dummy mailadress for external users which is then forwarded to the correct address.

I assume I'm not the only one with that kind of problem and hope there's better solutions within Mercury, though actually I couldn't fine anything yet ...[:'(]

Thanks

[/quote]Why use a dummy address? Just add their addresses as alias's to their real address.

 

Or, are you doing it wrong, and using an externally hosted domain as your local domain?

 

You should use local. xyzdomain.com and have an alias list for your local users pointing abc@xyzdomain.com to abc@local.xyzdomain.com .

That way any mail from local to local will not be routed to the 'real' MX for the domain, but local to external abc@xyzdomain.com will be.

Users will need to authenticate to relay mail (they should be already!) or you can allow relaying by ip address.

The detailed instructions are in the help files :)

I don't use a Netware environment and there may be some different options.

Hi,

<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

 

I got the following problem:

- Mercury working in a Netware bindery environment

- configured "Local domains" (xyzdomain.com) in Mercury core module

- using Mercury C SMTP Relay Client

- outgoing and incoming mails for LOCAL users no problem

- now we have new EXTERNAL collegues which are NO USERS in our Netware network and also have no local mailboxes etc., but have mailboxes with the same local  domain name (abc@xyzdomain.com)

- Problem is sending mails from internal to these "external local domain addresses"

- Mercury  complains "abc@xyzdomain.com not known at this site" and returns a delivery failure

 

Current workaround is a dummy mailadress for external users which is then forwarded to the correct address.

I assume I'm not the only one with that kind of problem and hope there's better solutions within Mercury, though actually I couldn't fine anything yet ...[:'(]

Thanks

Anton
