We're checking on the local mail forwarding option - it's a very workable solution but there may be policies forbidding that too. I do not know why IMAP4 is not allowed but we're looking into getting an exception. We're working all angles basically.
Fortunately sending mail is easy - there's a server specifically set up for all automated systems within the intranet here at this customer. As long as you're on the right side of the firewall you can send mail. -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Carey Matthew Black Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2008 10:27 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Incoming emails on Solaris + Exchange William, So let me make sure I get the restrictions.... No POP3 or IMAP4 (from the Exchange server(s))... So what is "allowed"? Only MAPI? Just some ideas... For inbound email: Could you setup a local mail server on the Unix side? Could you "forward" the email from Exchange to the Unix Mail server? (Then use POP/mbox form the local server for the Email engine?) ( or use a procmail to ARS script?) Outbound .... Is a local (unix) SMTP server ok? (or are you tied to only being able to send from the Exchange servers?) -- Carey Matthew Black Remedy Skilled Professional (RSP) ARS = Action Request System(Remedy) Love, then teach Solution = People + Process + Tools Fast, Accurate, Cheap....
