Hi Martin,
Thank you for your reply and your confirmation. We have already a mail server
(Exchange) on the LAN and a classic helpdesk box on it, and what I'm trying to
do is to handle all incoming mails by OTRS, so I don't need a local mailbox for
the otrs user on the OTRS machine since the mails are retrieved from the
distant Exchange.
In your opinion would it be better if I install procmail and fetchmail before
going into production? or would it just be a waste of resources?
