Hi Dave,
Thank you for your answer. According to the mail people here, if mail
that's to [EMAIL PROTECTED] gets forwarded to the internal Exchange servers,
they'll explode (or at least return the mail).
Putting mail.aaa.com in rcpthosts and local would just tell qmail that
it's okay to move the mail along, right? That, then, wouldn't solve the
explosion problem.
If it's impossible then the client won't use qmail. They are using
sendmail now and it's causing LOTS of problems, and they hired me to find
another solution.
So please, what's the expensive, error prone way of handling it? Of
course, I'll let them know that it may be better to fiddle with the
Exchange servers so they'll accept mail.aaa.com, but they won't be happy
with that.
Thank you
