Internal Messages via SMTP?

[compuveg]

Is there a way to force all messages, including internal, through an SMTP server? Even Groupwise's SMTP server is fine.

You might've guessed that I'm interesting in archiving all email for legal reasons.

Thanks--

Well, typically internal messages never leave the Post Office. So they never hit the GWIA which is the SMTP component.

I'd go with a real archiving solution. GWARCHIVE from Messaging Architects will do the trick.

I know internal messages don't leave the PO. I was hoping I could do something to trick it into thinking internal messages need to be externally delivered.

What I'm trying to do is migrate away from our mailserver. As users get accounts created on the new server I wanted to do something a little more clean than just setup a rule to forward their messages.

Since our inbound mail goes through a mail relay in the DMZ, that's easily forwarded to the new server. I've no alternative to forwarding internal email aside from just setting up rules on the account.

I'd hoped there was a way to do it using addressing rules, but I've tried every variation of acctname.po.domain type naming and none seem to work the way Novell says they will.

If you use GWIA aliases, it will force it to go outside of the PO and to the GWIA.. Then if it's an internal address, it will just come back in. External addresses will go out as normal.

There are some other considerations and you can easily end up with confusion. So this is more of a suggestion, and you should test it thoroughly before implementing it fullscale.
