Topic: SME Domain name same as externally hosted domain - internal

[dilligaf]

Hi,
SME Server set up as mycompany.com.
Hosting for mycompany.com handled by ISP.(e-mail is handled by them)
Problem is any server created e-mail goes to the internal user account(as expected) and never gets to the isp user acct.
IE on the SME Server I have a user called alice.
Alice e-mail is alice@mycompany.com.
Alice uses outlook for her mail that is handled by her ISP.
Sp when tapeware e-mails log to alice@mycompany.com it stays on the SME Server.
In a nutshell, do I have to reconfigure the server, or is there another way to workaround this?
Thanks,

Hi,

maybe 'hostnames' is an interesting topic

The manual under the documenation link contains a bit of an explenation.

btw. a brand new SME Server manual is almost ready to be published.

Hi,
I have printed and read that manual and can not seem to find reference to what will assist in solving the problem. I have searched the forums for hostname and no success with answer to related problem.
I do not want to blindly make changes to a working server, that is what I was looking for assistance.
Thanks,

Hi,

What I normally do is giving the box an internal FQDN instead of the a public FQDN. e.g. internal.mybox.com

After that you can add virtual domains and set IP's in the hostnames panel.

Basically, rename your box to an internal only domain name.

Good luck

Thank you very much,
That did the trick perfectly.
