Hi Bruce,

I've become a little stuck with the onbound routing. I'm using mailscanner
which received inbound email. Could that cause a problem? I'd preferrably
like mailscanner to scan the mail, pass it back to the exim queue (which
happens at present for legit domain's mail) and then deliver it to the
exchange server at 192.168.1.11

Is this possible?

Thanks

You just need to add a router in exim.conf that does something like this:
main_domain:
driver = manualroute
domains = domain1.net
route_list = * 192.168.1.11 byname
transport = remote_smtp
which assumes you have a simple smtp transport configured called
remote_smtp.
