I did not dislike your answer; simply put, as I'm a novice, I did not understand that your answer implicitly said that my solution was not advisable...

your method could work but it's not something I would do nor can I test it.

This is an answer that - as novice - I can understand.

Thank you and sorry for having bothered.

Hello.

At office we have M/32 which sends mail relaing on our ISP (say, at smtp.antani.it).

We also have another ISP, providing us with certified mail; to send certified mail we must relay on the special smtp server provided by the ISP (say, at smtp.pec.it).

Now, as in M/32 you can configure only one external smtp to relay on, I was thinking about the possibility of installing a second copy of M/32 in another Directory of our server (W2008), whit its own queues, mailboxes, users, ecc., so on the same machine would run 2 separate instances of M/32.

Any other idea? Is it possible? Caveats?

 Best regards

Filippo

P.S. no, we cannot configure the mail clients (outlook, ecc.) to use M/32 for normal outgoing mail, and directly smpt.pec.it for the certified outgoing mail.

Non Problema as long as you are not running against the same queue.  You can have the first server forward all outbound to the domain smtp.pec.it to the second instance of Mercury.  In this case this the second instance will connect via MercuryC to the proper host.  

Thanks for your reply, Mr.Stephenson,
but my idea was a bit different.

Server side
Two installations of M/32 in the machine named OASRV09
1) - 1st in C:\MERCURY for normal mail
   - MercuryS SMTP server configured to listen on port 25
   - mercuryC SMTP client configured to relay on smtp.antani.it, port 25
   - MercuryD pop3 client configured to retrieve normal mail from pop.antani.it
   - MercuryI Imap server configured to listen on port 143

2) - 2nd in C:\MERCURYPEC for certified mail
   - MercuryS SMTP server configured to listen on port 10025
   - mercuryC SMTP client configured to relay on smtp.pec.it, port 25, authentication, ecc.
   - MercuryD pop3 client configured to retrieve normal mail from pop.pec.it
   - MercuryI Imap server configured to listen on port 10143


Client side
Each Outlook of my users configured to have 2 accounts
1) one for normal mail, which
   - retrieve mail from 1st M/32, connecting via IMAP to OASRV09, port 143
   - send mail to 1st M/32,connecting to OASRV09, port 25 (via MercuryS); and from here, relay to smtp.antani.it (via MercuryC)

2) one for certified mail, which
   - retrieve mail from 2nd M/32, connecting via IMAP to OASRV09, port 10143
   - send mail to 2nd M/32,connecting to OASRV09, port 10025 (via MercuryS); and from here, relay to smtp.pec.it (via MercuryC)
