Currently, we receive our incoming mail via NT Exchange server. We do not
currently use our IBM RS6000 for any internet email purposes (ie, I am in
unfamiliar territory with this project).
Since our core business applications exist on the IBM system, I would like
to develop the application that would form the email message, shell to AIX,
and invoke Qmail which would then send the email to NT Exchange server. My
reasons for this routing are: 1) There are security concerns governed by
the network department over which I have no responsibility; 2) I don't want
any email messages coming back to the RS6000. 3) Since I cannot influence
the security policies, I want to transmit the email to a trusted source
(Exchange) and let that source deal with the firewall, security issues, etc.
Therefore, the RS6000 will only be sending email to the NT Exchange server.
Hopefully, then, the NT Exchange server will then send out the email
appropriately.
I imagine someone is doing this and would appreciate constructive input. If
you've got an installation similar to this and would like to correspond
"offlist", please feel free to email me directly. Thanks.
