Sending to multiple mail servers

[Xavier Lloyd]

Hello,

Can Ironport be configured to send email to multiple mail servers? I don't mean load balancing or failover. What I want is for the Ironport to send the same inbound email to two separate mail servers.

Regards,

Xavier

i think you can configure SMTP Routes for that matter.

I thought of the SMTP routes too but that only does round robin load balancing. Thanks though.

I think you need to use a message filter. Something like this:

bccMessageFilter:

if ((mail-from == '^xavier$') and (rcpt-to == '^lloyd$'))  {

     bcc('bccrecipient@domain.com', '[Bcc] $Subject', '$EnvelopeFrom', '[IP/hostname of alt mail server]');

}

Note: I haven't tested this.

Emam! It works! Thanks a lot. I was able to use bcc the mail to the same domain it was sent to originally. This way we can migrate our email servers without a problem.
