Please disregard that last email.  I hit a shortcut for send.

Exch1 = exchange server 1
Exch2 = exchange server 2 

Incoming SMTP => sends to =>
=> Exim1 (clean email then relay, no local users) => send to =>
=> Exch1 (user not here send to Exch2) => send to =>
=> Exch2 (user not here either send to final exim) => send to =>
=> FinalExim (exim accepts mail but no local users for shared smtp
domain, reject mail)


That is the mail flow I'm trying to achieve.  I think it is straight
forward if I has another mail server.

I'm trying to functionally make Exim1 be FinalExim based on if the mail
came from Exch2 and its destined for the shared SMTP name space.

I hope that helps.

I think you're suggesting put Exim in the middle of the exchange servers
with a list of local users.  I think that might be possible too but I
was hoping to work it this way if possible.  I'm leaving out a bunch of
people issues associated with this migration.  I'm not the only one
involved.  It is very likely a person would be moved or created without
the list being updated properly.  I could batch the whole thing but this
termination point seems to avoid all that.

Thanks,

Scott
