SUMMARYMailEnable will always check for local delivery above sending the message to any remote server. So MX records and DNS settings are ignored if the domain is configured locally. To override this behaviour requires a system utility that redirects all emails to the specified local postoffice back out the SMTP service. The domains for the postoffice must be smarthosted to an external IP address for it to do this.DETAILThe MERoute utility will change a setting for the postoffice to force any mail being delivered to the postoffice to ignore the local mapping of an email address to a mailbox. This redirects all the email to the postoffice to the SMTP service outbound queue instead. The domain smarthost setting is then used to send the email to the remote server.To use the utility:1. Smart host all the domains under the postoffice to the desired target mail server. This is configured under the domain properties in the administration program by enabling the Act as Smart Host checkbox.2. Use the MERoute utility and select the checkbox next to the postoffice name.The domains must remain enabled, otherwise the SMTP service will not accept email for them in order to route them.One possible usage of the utility is when a postoffice is being migrated off to another server. If the current server is configured to redirect the email, any delayed MX updates will not cause bounced email. To summarise, the new server needs to be configured and have the email data and configuration migrated across. Then, smart host the domains to the new server and use the MERoute utility to force the smart hosting rules over local delivery. Unzip the utility into the MailEnable BIN directory on the current server.MORE INFORMATIONMERoute Utility: Product: MailEnable Version: Custom: Custom: Custom: Custom: Custom: Custom: Custom: Custom: Custom: All Versions Category: Module: General Keywords: Local outbound local force external smarthosting smarthost smart host smart Class: TRB: Troubleshooting (Configuration or Environment) Created: Revision Date:Sun, 9 May 2004 15:07:20 -1200

HelloWe configured a postoffice as smarthost for incoming mail, all fine here. But SMTP is used on our mailenable account, and we are having problems with this setting:- On SMTP security settings if we select 'Authenticated senders must use address from their postoffice', we must have the mailboxes configured on mailenable, but already tested, and incoming emails are delivered here and not at the smarthost external IP;- If we disable that option everything works ok (no need to have the mailboxes, just one to authenticate on smtp), but it is not very secure, we even noticed someone who uses gmail.com to access their account, sending emails from our server with the gmail.com sender address instead of their domain;- Isn't there an option to force 'Sender email domain must be local' instead of 'Sender email domain must be local or resolvable through DNS'... because this could solve this particular issue.Any ideas on how to improve security and keep things running with incoming smarthost?ThanksAntonio

SUMMARYHow to use MailEnable as a smart host.DETAILMailEnable can function as a smart host. This means that it can collect mail for another host, and pass the email on. With MailEnable, this is done on a domain basis. A domain needs to be configured in MailEnable to receive the email, otherwise the email may be rejected.In the domain properties, select the Act as Smart Host checkbox. This will enable a list window below, where the option to add domains to the Smart host list appears. Using the 'add' and 'remove' buttons will configure the addresses of where you are going to redirect the email to. Enter the IP addresses or the fully qualified host name (e.g. mail.mailenable.com). To send to a specific port, then use a colon and port number after the name/IP address.

Over port 143 (and port 110 if you select POP for the passthrough authentication). I like to use the IMAP service becuause this is the way that the messages are migrated over anyway. The way to test this is to use the telnet client command on the MailEnable server and test connection to the Exchange server using the following command in a command prompt:telnet ExchangeServerIP 143You should get a response something like this:* OK Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 IMAP4rev1 server version 6.5.7638.1 (SERVER.domain.com) ready.2. Make sure when you are authenticating that you are doing so against the MailEnable server. You should setup an Outlook email client for IMAP and connect to the MailENable server. This will then, when the migration utility is enabled try and authenticate against the Exchange server and where successful create the details in MailEnable. phaines Posts: 7 Joined: Wed Feb 23, 2011 9:56 am Re: Migrating from Exchange 2000 to MailEnable Post by phaines » Fri Feb 25, 2011 10:19 am Thanks for the guidance, and your point (1) produced a successful response through telnet.MailEnable-Ben wrote:2.
