I am new to this forum, I apologize for for lack of understand of rules.

I am testing this email package and it is great.
I am hosting my own domain "example.com" on the localhost.

I do not want any emails being delivery to the local "iRedMail" server. I want it to send all the email out, can you please show me how I can accomplish this? Thanks

Re: Over ride checking of local domain and send out email

Sorry, i don't quite understand what your really want.

You host mail domain 'example.com', and want to send out emails to '@example.com' to anther server? They why do you host this domain locally? Why not simply host another domain name like 'sub.example.com' and send to '@example.com'?

Re: Over ride checking of local domain and send out email

My email is hosted with a hosting company.

I want to use iredmail as a smtp server only, mainly if the hosted email service is down, I can still send out emails.

The problem is that when I sends email out to user@example.com, the email is being stored locally, I do not want it to store locally, I want it to send out to the hosting company's email server.

How can I configure the iRedmail to perform to do that? You mention making an edit to the MTA (Postfix), can you provide me with the details?

Thanks

Re: Over ride checking of local domain and send out email

If you host domain 'example.com', all emails sent to '@example.com' will be delivered locally. How about host another domain name like 'sub.example.com' and send to '@example.com'? You can configure Postfix to masquerade 'sub.example.com' as 'example.com'.

Re: Over ride checking of local domain and send out email

host another domain name like 'sub.example.com' and send to '@example.com'?
I will try this, does it affect the email being marked as SPAM?

I want the emails that are sent out FROM user@example.com not user@sub.example.com

How would I make this work? Do I need to add example.com as the domain or it is not needed?
How can I configure Postfix to masquerade 'sub.example.com' as 'example.com'.?
Does this affect the rating of the email being sent out?

Thanks for all your answers and help.
