Hi, NEVER setup one domain with two ip addresses :-),
this is the 'wrong' solution to almost any problem.
The 'domain' IS the mechanism to find the destination
serve - that's it's actual purpose :-).
Good, now we've clarified that. You do it like this:
Add a g_gateway rule to send all email to server1 for
that domain
Add a g_route rule for each user on server2
or
Add a new domain 's2.domain' and redirect users that live at
server2 to user@s2.domain
then add a rewrite rule to change the destination from s2.domain
to .domain when sent. (g_send_rewrite) (or configure server2 to
accept s2.domain as an alias)
Then ensure all email users on server1 and server2 use
gateway.server as their outgoing smtp server and not server1,2
Or you can do something similar on both server1 and
server2... each one individually listing the users to send to the
other system (yucky)
All solutions are complicated, messey and bad. It's
very easy to kick yourself in the foot and end up with a loop or
messages bouncing in certain situations depending on who sends
them etc...
Instead, simply establish a second domain name for the
other server, and all these problems go away. e.g.
user1@main.domain (server1)
user2@corp.main.domain (server2)
user3@main.domain (server1)
user4@corp.main.domain (server2)
Then on 'server1' add some redirect rules for 'server2'
users, just to help with transition.
I know you're probably gonna have to ignore this advice
because of some corporate type decision that means you have no
choice, but I'm giving it anyway :-) :-).

Hi,
Is there any setting of surgemail to do email gateway
solutions where there are more than one platforms or mail
servers combined in a single domain?
For example
I have email @
email.com and
there have 2 location of server
How to forward / reroute / rewrite email messages on
gateway or server1 or server2 to transfer messages to a real
mailbox on the server?
Thank you
James
