No local users
I would like messaging to treat all mail as non-local. In other words no local users all mail must travel to an outside SMTP server that I specifiy. I have a pretty much out of the box imta.cnf file and tried to add a domain rule / rewrite so that all mail from my domain goes to a specific SMTP host. But it still wants to deliver internal mail to the messaging server and not push it out. Any ideas or help on this would be appriciated.

Ya, sorry, that was probably a little vague. I want all my internal users / mail to go to an out bound SMTP server - not be treated as internal mail - even though it is.
Here is a test rewrite:
forward channel= l
channel description=
channel user filter=
dest channel filter=
source channel filter =
channel flags #0= BIDIRECTIONAL MULTIPLE IMMNONURGENT NOSERVICEALL
channel flags #1= NOSMTP DEFAULT
channel flags #2= COPYSENDPOST COPYWARNPOST POSTHEADONLY HEADERINC NOEXPROUTE
channel flags #3= LOGGING NOGREY NORESTRICTED RETAINSECURITYMULTIPARTS
channel flags #4= EIGHTBIT NOHEADERTRIM NOHEADERREAD RULES
channel flags #5=
channel flags #6= LOCALUSER REPORTNOTARY
channel flags #7= NOSWITCHCHANNEL NOREMOTEHOST DATEFOUR DAYOFWEEK
channel flags #8= NODEFRAGMENT EXQUOTA REVERSE NOCONVERT_OCTET_STREAM
channel flags #9= NOTHURMAN INTERPRETENCODING USEINTERMEDIATE RECEIVEDFROM VALIDATELOCALSYSTEM NOTURN
defaulthost= vcsu.edu vcsu.edu
linelength = 1023
channel env addr type = SOURCEROUTE
channel hdr addr type = SOURCEROUTE
channel official host = hostname1.vcsu.edu
channel queue 0 name= LOCAL_POOL
channel queue 1 name= LOCAL_POOL
channel queue 2 name= LOCAL_POOL
channel queue 3 name= LOCAL_POOL
channel after params=
channel user name=
urgentnotices = 1 2 4 7
normalnotices = 1 2 4 7
nonurgentnotices= 1 2 4 7
channel rightslist ids =
local behavior flags= %x7
expandchannel =
notificationchannel=
dispositionchannel=
saslswitchchannel=
tlsswitchchannel=
backward channel= l
header To: address= user.name@vcsu.edu
header From: address= user.name@vcsu.edu
envelope To: address= user.name@vcsu.edu (route (hostname1.vcsu.edu,hostname1.vcsu.edu)) (host vcsu.edu)
envelope From: address = user.name@vcsu.edu
name=
mbox= user.name
Extracted address action list:
user.name@vcsu.edu
Extracted 733 address action list:
user.name@vcsu.edu
Address list expansion:
user.name@ims-ms-daemon
1 expansion total.
Expanded address:
user.name@vcsu.edu
Submitted address list:
ims-ms
user.name@ims-ms-daemon (orig user.name@vcsu.edu, inter user.name@vcsu.edu, host ims-ms-daemon) *NOTIFY-FAILURES* *NOTIFY-DELAYS*
Submitted notifications list:
I want this internal user not be treated interanl and go to a different host like user.name@server2.vcsu.edu
Hopefully that is a little clearer?
Thanks,
Erik

Um, not really.
Messaging Express can be easily configured to be Messaging Express Multiplexor. MEM is a http proxy specifically for webmail.
If you need to use a second system for store, then ME is useless anyway, as a local package. It interacts directly with the mail store, so if the mail isn't there, it can't find it.
Check the capter for configuring MEM. Configutil setting, restart, and you're there.

Okay - maybe I should explain a little more what I am trying to do.
We just migrated to Exchange - not my choice, ask our administration - anyway, we have both systems up and going so users and get into both and move / backup information on the Sun JES side for a few months. But, they will continue to send from Messaging Express and Thunderbird so I until we shut the messaging system down. So I would like any message they send in the Sun JES system to get auto re-directed to our Exchange SMTP server.
I don't want to use the forwarding piece since they could change that or shut it off.
I was hoping a simple domain rewrite would do the trick:
vcsu.edu becomes exchange.vcsu.edu
I have have played with this for a week now and it still want to keep all internal users internal.
Thanks for your patiences with me....

Well, your desires seem to be somewhat incompatible.
ME won't work with Exhange. Period.
If you want to keep a copy of mail on your Messaging Server, you could use a global sieve filter, to fwd all messages. This wouldn't be available to the users to mess with, but . . .
If they connect to your exchange server and delete messages, and then use ME, those messages will still be there.
You will need to migrate, or not migrate.......
I understand wanting to keep a working server as backup for Exchange. I've heard many stories of how much maintaince these take...
