Export usernames and passwords over would be an idea. You might want to convince him to try Exim (http://www.exim.org) - Tabor Wells recently posted a set of configs where his exim authenticates users from an MS Exchange LDAP DB. > 2.

If notification comes that > should be later on NOT at the time of sending. Why are they in such a hurry to send mail to fake domains and nonexistent users? If they do this on a regular basis they might want to set up Mailman (esp mailman cvs with VERP support) - and enable bounce management, to get rid of nonexistent / bouncing users. That, and they might want to read the hints at http://www.mail-abuse.org/rbl/manage.html - which I don't think they have ever heard of in their lives. > Can anyone help me in the tunning of sendmail for such kind of setup. > Me sure that sendmail /qmail can perform well than any M$ exchange. You would just have to hit google for sendmail + tuning, or qmail + tuning - but no, you wouldn't do that... you are pretty sure that some jackass or the other (like me) is sure to come along and answer your questions, save you the trouble of going to www.google.com and doing a small search. It is trivially easy for sendmail on a pentium 200 to beat the pants off Exchange 5.5 or Exchange 2K running on a far higher specced processor. suresh ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: To learn the basics of securing your web site with SSL, click here to get a FREE TRIAL of a Thawte Server Certificate: http://www.gothawte.com/rd524.html _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
