redirecting outgoing mail to mailmarshal

Hi,

Is 'legacy' a kind way of saying end-of-life and should be upgraded ASAP ;)

Do you have any mail.log output which shows this occurring?

You probably want to change the 'mx' to 'nomx' since you are sending directly to an IP address.

Also when you make changes to the configuration file, to make them active you need to run:

./imsimta cnbuild;

./imsimta refresh

This of course assumes you are running on a sparc/hpux server - which you didn't specify. For future reference please include the output of ./imsimta version

Please realize that your version (Messaging Server 5.1) is desparately old.It's as old as Windows ME, and, also, unsupported.

Your number one priority should be getting your old version updated to current. 6.3 is current, and has much better tools for dealing with spam than 5.1 ever did. 5.1 has bugs that will never even be looked at.
