Hi all,

I have a number of SMTP VSs that each have unique local
domain names. These are used as platforms for anti-virus and
anti-spam programs. When an NDR is generated, it reflects the
sender as being from the local domain, e.g.
postmaster@thisserver.mydomain.local - which means that it may be
refused delivery since the sending domain cannot be validated.
Is there any way to cause these to be addressed with my real
domain name - such as postmaster@myrealdomain.com, regardless of
which VS creates it; or will I have to route these through the
Exchange server to use the rewrite function?

Thanks.

You should change the name of each domain to a publicly valid domain.
'F2' does a great job. :)

Using the GUI, you won't be able to set the Postmaster domain to be
the same as a remote domain. This is probably just as well. I would
recommend that these hosts be given a better identifier (hostname), so
that you can trace instantly which hop gen'd a DSN. Note that you
_can_ use the same domain across all the VSs, as long as it is not a
remote domain (with mailboxes located off-box).

Alternately, you can set the Postmaster domain to be the same as a
remote domain by editing the metabase. I would not recommend this,
though, because IMO creates an overly generic setup.

Sanford,

Thank you for your reply.

Firstly, are you referring to the VS local domain or the FQDN
under advanced delivery?
Secondly, why?


[quoted text, click to view]

I don't know what this means.

This is actually exactly what I wish to do, since I am not
concerned with the generic nature of the setup, and traceability
is easy by the unique FQDN and IP address in the header. Would
this be the PostmasterEmail property under IIsSmtpServer?



Thank you

The VS Local (Default) domain.

Erm, because this is used as the postmaster domain, as I said.

F2 is the conventional means of renaming an object in the Windows
shell.

No.

It is done by setting up a Remote domain that has the same name as the
Local (Default) domain. The Local (Default) domain is used as the
postmaster domain, while the Remote domain's static mailrouting entry
overrides the \Drop folder that is usually used for delivery.
