Title: Emails set to forwarded but being delivered locally
Post by: Drylouvre on April 23, 2007, 05:23:47 PM
Hi,

I have searched for forums for this but can't find a similar problem - at least with my set up.

We have SME set up like this:

WAN
   |
Linksys Router w/FW
   |
   | (192.168.x.x)
   |
SME1 as server/gateway (DHCP)
   |
   | (10.x.x.x)
   |
Clients and another SME as fileserver

We do not host our website or our email as they are both on an external server but I've set the SME domain the same as our external one and have used the hostnames panel to make WWW, FTP, MAIL etc as external  IPs. We put SME like this so that we can have use the SMTP and HTTP proxies and eventually I'd like to bring email in house.

For each user on SME1 I've set email to be forwarded only to our external email server (IMAP). In this configuration I can see that emails sent to domains other than ours get sent through the proxy ok and they are delivered properly. Emails can be received from external domains without problem as well. However, emails to other internal users don't get sent externally, they get delivered locally and I don't want this to happen. I don't want to set up two accounts for each user (one external and one internal - cos then we would not be able to have access to them via webmail to our external server).

Have I misunderstood the docs or is there something I've missed?

Cheers

Dry

In the "server-manager" go to "Security->Proxy settings" and disable "SMTP proxy status"

Ok, thanks. I made the changes detailed in the wiki to allow me to log all outgoing mail. Won't switching the proxy off stop that working?

Cheers

You want another server to handle local mail delivery rather than the SME server. That's the "delegate mail server" feature. Check the docs.

Ah ok. Thanks very much.
