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.
