deliver mail for non existing local user to other server?

[merlin88]

Hello,

is it possible to send mail to external smtp, even if the domain belongs to local, but not the specified user?

Reason:
I start migrating our old mail server to scalix. For me the easiest way is to keep the old mail server and forward mails from the scalix via smart host to the old mail server and from there to the net. During the migration process, not all user are allready on the scalix server. The result is, that the old server belongs to mydomain.de and so the scalix server does. Let's say, user_s is on scalix and user_o is on the old mail server. If I send an mail from user_s@mydomain.de to user_o@mydomain.de, scalix will keep this mail, and not forward it to the old server, because it seems to be local mail. For the old mail server I could configure, that mail for the local domain, but with not existing user_o was forwarded to the external SMTP. Is it possible to do this with scalix also?

Best regards

This is a typical coexistance scenario, but you should handle it differently.

Assume you have machines scalix.domain.de and legacy.domain.de. On legacy.domain.de, set forwarding addresses for mailboxes that are migrated to scalix.domain.de.

On scalix.domain.de, set forwards for all users that are not onScalix yet.

That way, you have a consistent mail routing set up.

Cheers,

Sascha.

Thanks for your help.

That's what I found in the forums.

Can I setup a generally routing or do I need to set up every user and than add the forward rule with the rule wizard for each user?
