Note: I haven't set this up yet. I need to figure how doable it is before I
start.
I want to set up a high-uptime qmail server for all our inbound
([EMAIL PROTECTED]) mail, and to send out machine generated email. Our
employees, however, are going to be on an exchange server. I have no choice
in that. And it's VERY desirable to keep user administration on exchange,
which means I'd rather that qmail and exchange not have to trade directory
information. If they did, it'd need to be very automatic.
So I'm thinking, install qmail, and tell it "If you get inbound mail to
[EMAIL PROTECTED], and it's not local, kick it to the exchange server."
The exchange server then takes it and delivers to its local user.
Okay, so what if an exchange user needs to send mail to a mailbox local to
the qmail server? Well, I could tell exchange "If you don't know this
address, kick it to the qmail box."
But then if exchange doesn't know it, and it's not local for qmail, qmail
will want to send it back. And if I read the docs right, then postmaster is
going to get it.
Can anyone think of a way to work this? I imagine someone's already done
something similar. Or *is* there a good way for exchange to trade directory
info with qmail so qmail can route by address?
Sorry if this has been asked before...
