Pretty
much, Keith. The second-to-last parameter is the filter for the real
Internet addresses, which in my case is bentall.com (Sandy gave us this feature
for installations like mine, which have a half dozen or so Internet domain
names).
The
last parameter is the "shim" domain, the one that is shared as the alias on the
IMail domain and the internal, non-Internet-domain-name.
This
"shim" domain is usually your Active Directory name, and following the
conventions for that, you'll usually see examples as bentall.local (Sandy
Whiteman) or bentall.moc (John Tolmachoff).
I went
off the rails in following the directions because our Exchange 2000 only has the
real SMTP address and an X.400 address (i.e. no bentall.local or
bentall.moc).
Good
luck!

Andrew,
Is the only lines you altered in Sandy's
script were:
cscript exchange2aliases.vbs
storeforward.mydomain.com
LDAP://10.192.0.1/cn=users,dc=bentall,dc=local
mydomain.com mydomain.com
Going for a test ride tomorrow.
Thanks for the aid,
Keith

[Declude.JunkMail] [OT] exchange2aliases for dummies
Sandy, I'm having problems in getting this working on a test
machine. I'm
missing some obvious step...
Recap:
My
production environment is such that I run IMail+Declude as my gateway,
in
front of an Exchange 2000 environment, so I'm a good candidate for
using
your exchange2aliases script. We gateway a half dozen domains
through the
IMail gateway, and some of those have a relatively small
userbase, so I'll
start with testing one of those.
In the
production environment, the SMTP addresses for a user
are
[EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] etc. and not
in the
Active Directory, i.e. not something like
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
I installed a fresh copy of IMail v8.12 on the
test machine.
For the "Official Host Name" I chose the same as my
production box,
mail.bentall.com and it is listening on the local,
non-routeable IP, which
is the only IP on the test machine.
I then
added a host, gave it an "Official Host Name"
of
"storeforward.mydomain.com" and a "Host Alias" of "mydomain.com" and
set it
as a virtual host so that I wouldn't have to give it a unique
IP.
Then I added an entry to the test machine's "hosts." file so that
it knew
that 192.168.116.100 is the IP for the internal Exchange 2000
that is our
current gateway, e.g. "192.168.116.100
mydomain.com"
Then I set the log format to SYDMMDD.txt and turn on
the Debug and Verbose
options.
Then I ran exchange2alias like
so:
cscript exchange2aliases.vbs
storeforward.mydomain.com
LDAP://10.192.0.1/cn=users,dc=bentall,dc=local
mydomain.com mydomain.com
I could then view all the lovely aliases in
IMail.
I then used a command line utility, postie, to send a simple
message to that
test IMail server, with a bogus to:
address:
postie -host:192.168.116.25
-to:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
-from:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -s:"This is the
subject" -msg:"This is the body."
-v:9
The message is
refused. Joy!
I then used a command line utility, postie, to
send a simple message to that
test IMail server, with a valid to:
address:
postie -host:192.168.116.25
-to:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
-from:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -s:"This is the
subject" -msg:"This is the body."
-v:9
The message is accepted
(joy!), and the IMail log shows that it is queued,
but also
this:
11:13 19:24 SMTP-(0000000000000000) Info - Adding Queue
file
C:\IMail\spool\Qcff500b70dc64580.SMD
11:13 19:24
SMTP-(cff500b70dc64580)
processing
C:\IMail\spool\Qcff500b70dc64580.SMD
11:13 19:24
SMTP-(cff500b70dc64580) ERR alias loop in [EMAIL PROTECTED]
11:13
19:24 SMTP-(cff500b70dc64580)
finished
C:\IMail\spool\Qcff500b70dc64580.SMD status=1
that there
is an alias loop (boo!) and the message evaporates from the
spool
folder.
I've spent a *lot* of time on this now with a
multitude of combinations, and
it's just not working. I've tried a
real host IP, I've tried adding the
"host alias" to the primary OHN that
I had created for our default domain,
and ...
What am I
missing!?
