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
