Same domain name different server

[jfer]

here is my question:

we have an existing email server user@domain.com (QMAIL).
now we set up scalix to have the same domain user@domain.com (Scalix).

how do I configure scalix to send email to user@domain.com (QMAIL).

when I send an email from scalix to user@domain.com (QMAIL) it stays in scalix. is it
possible for the email be forwarded to our Qmail server.

does this make sense?

No, not really.

For mail to get to the Scalix server, DNS would have been configured, or an MTA on another machine would have been configured, to point domain.com to your Scalix server.

If the mail goes from Scalix and is addressed to domain.com, there is no way to configure sendmail such that if an address exists in Scalix, it is delivered to another machine.

The situation your describing is one that our customers experience in a coexistence scenario. They will typically configure their legacy server to still receive mail on domain.com but then forward that mail to scalix.domain.com. Each user on the Scalix server will have 2 internet addresses, user@domain.com and user@scalix.domain.com. This allows them to send as user@domain.com but receive as user@scalix.domain.com.

When the period of coexistance is over, the DNS records are modified to point domain.com to the Scalix server and the scalix.domain.com internet addresses are removed.

This is what I'm trying right now. The forwarding of the migrated users to scalix works, but how can scalix users send mails to the users on the old mailserver?

OK, setting the MX for the domain to my old mail server did the trick. Read hear about the details:
