Hi guys,
we have a setup that allows us to continue using the Mail Server that is provided to us by our ISP and still have IMAP functionality when connected to our LAN. The ISP's Mail Server is set to forward every incoming mail to our internal server running Mac OS X 10.3.8 Server and keep a copy of the message in the POP mailbox. This way we have a somewhat redundant setup that allows us to check the POP boxes on the external server in the unlikely event of a failure of the internal server.
And because this redundancy exists and we have a script running to alert us if anything is deferred or bounced we generally DON'T NEED an error message being sent to our customers or some postmaster in the event that cyrus's deliver command times out again, which happened a lot in the past few days, or anything else happens in this regard.
I already turned the "soft_bounce" feature on which judging from the documentation should help with our problem.
If you know of anything else that has to be turned on/off please let me know. I generally don't want our customers to receive any error messages that are due to a problem with our internal server.
Thanks in advance,
Adrian
