How do I ?, 3 Xmail Servers- One is a Relay?

Hi AGAIN ppl's...

Need some help again.....

I need to set up an Xmail Mail server to catch mails for 6 domains. (Say this is server A) The 2 other Servers is on 2 diferent networks server 3 domains each ( Say server B and Server C

Server B has only got The folowing Domains hosted on them:
a.com
b.com
c.com

And server C has got Domains:
d.com
e.com
f.com

Server A Catch mails for all these Domains but it has to know where ( To which server (B or C )) to send this mails.

How would i go about setting this up? What should i do and how do i configure all of this?

Server a will have an MX record (pri) for all the domains So if u do an MX Lookup it will point to server A

Server A should then send the mails to the relevant server (B or C ) Depending on the Domain the mails was sent to via IP ( NOT MX)
AND The forwarding Process should NOT BE IN THE FINAL HEADER of the Mail. ie The record that Server A sent this mail to Server C

Oh...and Server B and Server C is current X-Mail Servers running mail for Domains...

HELP Pls?

Thanx

Plain and simple: use custom domain processing on server A and smtprelay domains to their server.

Ok...this is all good and fine... But how do i do this? I got no clue?

What needs to be set and set up Where?

For server A just create custom domains (I use XmailAdmin for administering-very easy) with a parameter:
"smtprelay"[tab]"server_B_or_C"[newline]

Secure serverA to use smtpauth for clients and if you have clients outside of your LAN, provide them a username and password for authentication (normally one username/password is enough for all- enter it in the smtpauth.tab file in synatx:
"username"[tab]"nonencrypted_password"[tab]"smtp_permissions"[newline]
for smtp permissions checkout:

)

Other server can stay as they are now.

Hi..Thanx for the reply....

I have not worked with costom Domains yet.....

So if i understand Correctly i will have to Create a custom Domain for each of the Domains that is either on Server B or on Server C?

Correct?

And i do not load or Create and other Domain on that Server?

All 3 servers are on the internet.

Server A would not be used to Send mail at All. ONLY to receive mail and pass it onto Server B or C. How would i handle that?

And will there be an Entry in the Header of the mail saying where the mail came from when it is Finaly on Server B or C? And if so how do i get it away?

Thanx

There probably should be a line for that. I'm not sure why you want to get rid of it. But I guess you'll need a script on server B & C that will remove that header.

Yes.

No, you don't need to create anything else.

Like I have told you. Use smtpauth for clients, clear smtprelay.tab file, don't enter anything into smtpauth.tab file. This way, anyone who will try to use the server will be asked for username and password. Since there is none, it will be not possible to use it.

Yes

Thanx ppl's....

I will give it a smash this weekend!

Any one up for writing a filter to remove that line out of the header?

Why you need to remove this header? It is just a normal relay info like there is a lot of out there.

If the IP of server B or C is in there then it has to be removed. These Server IP's can not be seen by anyone that is getting a mail from any of the users...

I know.... Childish... But this is what the ppl want....

Now i sit with the problem.....

Ok...I am looking at the custom Domain properties in XMail Administartor.

So all i need to do there is add the IP of the server (B or C ) That the mail for the Domain i am creating is going? Anything else? What is L- Redirection and will i need it?
And anything under Advance options?

Thanx

Use smtprelay and not redirect or lredirect.

So i use the Xmail Administrator to create the file and then i Edit the smtprelay.tab file to add the entry for that domain?

Just checking...Do not want to screw this up

Thanx for the help

NO
When you create a custom domain you actally create a tab file with a domain name and in that tab you enter smtprelay like I have told you before You can do both with the XmailAdmi program-enter smtprelay under advanced options. Instead of tab character you can use comma eg: "smtprelay","serverBorC"[newline]
Don't forget to Save changes.

Just to be sure: these headers will only be in the mail that your users receive, not in the mails they sent.

People getting mail from your users, will only see those headers if a user forwards a message, including the headers. But most e-mail soft doesn't include headers when forwarding.

It seems useless to remove the IP of server A, since anyone can look it up in the nameserers for the domain name. And it seems useless to remove the IP of B and C, since that's where your users are downloading their e-mails (so i guess that they know that IP-address anyway).
But it seems like you're not the one who came up the idea that the headers should be removed, so I'm probably preaching to the choir.
