g_gateway_ifnot definitely works to send "customer-sourced -> customer-destined" messages out to an external server (I've used it for years), but it's a global setting. What I don't know is how you could utilize it for a single domain...

That was same thought, but I also don’t know about relative priority.

I know about g_gateway, however I am not sure where that setting lays in the priority list when routing customer submitted emai(rather than stuff coming from non-customers).  I would guess I may have to test after they convert. 

 

Was hoping for someone who has done this and knows how it works.

My first thought would be to have a look at g_gateway_ifnot, which is meant to route local mail out to an external scanner. Perhaps it could be used to do what you want. There will for sure be some other settings in play, but I think that's a good place to start.

Hope this helps...

I have been meaning to ask about this.

I have a domain, example.com and they are moving from my surgemail server to hosted exchange with Microsoft.  They want to be able to keep their old email for a period of time on my server.


Problem is that there are other customers that need to email them.  If they send email to example.com, it will drop into the local inbox and not be routed to their new exchange mailbox.


Is there a way (beyond renaming the domain) to reroute local incoming mail for example.com to their hosted exchange rather than their local inbox?  I don't know the priority that Surgemail uses and if gateway setting take priority for local incoming mail?
