Thanks for reading!
I'm in the process of setting up my first qmail server outside the
firewall as a SMTP gateway for my domain - amgt.com . What I want is for
our MS Exchange 4.0 server - don't worry, I'm replacing it :) - internet
mail connector to grab email sitting on the qmail server through the
firewall. I don't want qmail to try and automatically forward email
through the firewall into the Exchange server and I don't want to create
user accounts on the qmail server.
I've almost read Running qmail, various docs and searched the email
archives. There is a thread about qmail as a smart relay host for ms
exchange, but it's not quite right. It looks like I need to setup a
virtual domain for my real domain! For some reason I can't get my brain
around creating a virtual domain for an exisiting, registered domain. Am
I correct in this assumption?? Will creating a virtual domain hold all
email for my domain until my exchange server can SMTP out the firewall
to pick it all up??
On the topic of sending email, I'm a little confused. I think I need to
relay all email from my domain out to the internet. cat amgt.com >
/var/qmail/control/rcpthosts sounds right, but I'm not sure. I don't
want to accidently setup an open relay or have all outbound email trying
to be sent back to the Exchange server.
I've been reading the list for a couple of weeks and am impressed with
the level of help!! Thanks again!
