Sorry I caused such a scruff. The fact of the matter is this;
I do have qmail forwarding perfectly fine. Damn if it doesn't
work perfectly. In fact, if given the same scenario, I would do the same
config again. Qmail is a breeze to set up, I have no more desires to edit .cf's
or, as Craig pointed out, .mc's; I have no problems whats-so-ever
with mail getting to, and coming from exchange. I agree that that things like this
are done all the time, and only make sense (god, I wish I had someone here that understood
that part).

I am extremely dis-appointed in the whole Exchange deal (I have to throw this one in).
(my dissapointments are also complicated by the fact that Exchange is tied to a NetApp filer
utilizing their snapmager :-(
In the ole days, when a user had a prob, it was soooooo easy to manage their mail. Now, I have user(s)
who have viruses in their acount, and it is not as easy as opening mutt to delete the offending
message any longer. Yes, we have the virus software on the client side: If life were only
that simple any more.

Having said that, my budget is frozen. I do, however, have a site license for Sophos; Love it,
and I hate it. Defintely a love/hate relationship. Won't go there at the moment. but what I am looking for,
is a way to utilize my current license to pitch in and screen messages for viruses.

Sounds like such a simple process to me: Mail is addressed to my domain(s)....DNS show it the way
to qmail....Amavis screens the message.... message get's handed back to Qmail, and off she goes to the Exchange server.

Did I miss a meeting somewhere?

Does anyone know if Amavis will screen against mail handled by dot-qmail files?????
