Re: qmail-ldap relaying to Exchange (yuck)

Hi   If I understand your situation correctly, I think what you can do is use the smtproutes in qmail so that those particular users whose mail needs to be directly routed to the exchange server can be put into this file     Thanks & Regards Milind ------------------------------------------------------------- Consultant - Linux Practice Group Novell 62 MIDC, 13th Street Andheri (East) Mumbai 400093 India Phone: +91(22) 2834-2244 Fax: +91(22) 2834-2223 Cell: +91 98201-88510 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://www.novell.com --------------------------------------------------------------- --- Attitude Is Everything ! >>>Keith Warno <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 07/13/05 4:08 pm >>> * <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [13/07/2005 1103EDT]: >On Wed, 13 Jul 2005, Keith Warno wrote: [...] >>Our primary MX currently points to our qmail box.  I want to keep it >>this way.  Some of the local users need the third-party Exchange service >>and the rest do not, so basically I need the qmail box to deliver mail >>locally for some users and relay mail to the Exchange box for those >>users who need the Exchange service.  The Exchange service will also >>(probably) require SMTP auth, so the qmail box will have to be able to >>authenticate itself on behalf of those senders that are relaying thru it >>to the Exchange box. >I do this, but I don't want all my root mail forwarding to exchange, since >it has the possibility of killing it.

Good idea but it won't work for us because the only domain the exchange server accepts mail for is 'valaran.com', the same domain that the qmail box is the MX for and accepts mail & delivers locally for.  In other words, in a user's .qmail would have "&[EMAIL PROTECTED]", which will loop. :) Is there some program I can use via a .qmail program line that, when a mail comes in for a user, it'll establish an SMTP connection to the exchange box?  Oh wait.... how about calling qmail-remote directly? Does it make sense to do |qmail-remote exchange.server.whatever "$SENDER" "$RECIPIENT" ? -- SA Valaran Corp GPG: 0xEC705AE9 I put the sh in IT.
