Configuring Messaging Server 6.3 to use an external spam appliance
I am running Solaris 10 u3 with the JES5 Communication Suite installed on a single host. I want to use an external spam / virus appliance and am looking for some configuration settings for the Messaging server. I understand how to place the appliance within my DMZ and change the MX and NAT entries on the firewall. What I can't seem to find is the place to change the Messaging server to route all mail through the appliance. Looking for that "smart host" entry like we had in sendmail!
I am sure this setting is in there somewhere, but I can't seem to find it in the docs...
Thanks in advance!

Thanks - this makes sense.I have found that my problem is more of a client issue that the server itself. We use evolution 1.4 on Solaris 10 work stations, configured with IMAP to the Messaging Server. Receiving mail through the spam appliance works correctly, and sending mail using Communications Express also works correctly. When I try to use evolution to send mail via the IMAP control to the Messaging Server, it fails.
This kind of takes DNS out of the picture and maybe speaks to the ability of the Messaging Server initiated by an evolution client.... Any thoughts?
Thanks, again!

Do you have settings for INTERNAL_IP and PORT_ACCESS?
I believe this is in imta.cnf
Something like this for clients to allow them to relay to the Messaging Server. The default is for Msg Server to disallow relaying by clients.
In this example 192.168.100 would be your client IP range:
INTERNAL_IP
$(192.168.100.0/24) $Y
127.0.0.1 $Y
The DMZ bit would be something like this where 10.0.0.10 is a pretend DMZ mail firewall/host:
PORT_ACCESS
TCP|10.0.0.10|25|*|*
Entries in PORT_ACCESS have the syntax:
TCP|server-address|server-port|client-address|client-port
imsimta cnbuild
imsimta restart smtp
