Would never recommend the use of sendmail, qmail or postfix work quite
nicely as a proxy for Exchange. I'd never want to put exchange on the
internet, nor would I willing use sendmail, far too klugey.

Cheers,

Davidm

 &gt; Sorry for the late reply ...
 &gt; 
 &gt; To your question im not sure ...
 &gt; 
 &gt; I had sendmail forwarding mail to an Exchange =
server things postfix work quite 
 &gt; screw'd up alot
 &gt; .. I had to hack around alot in the sendmail.cf =
which most 
 &gt; people would say
 &gt; forget it ...
 &gt; 
 &gt; I would not under any circumstancies suggest =
using Exchange 
 &gt; with any Linux
 &gt; based MTA,&nbsp; Exchange does some strange =
stuff on its own ..
 &gt; 
 &gt; A problem u may find is .. if u do get it up =
and running ,, 
 &gt; is with the
 &gt; notify feature that is someone puts that stupid =
tag of alert 
 &gt; that the mail
 &gt; has been read by the recipient.&nbsp; It causes =
no end of problems 
 &gt; i had mail
 &gt; bouncing around when ever anybody did this from =
either inside 
 &gt; sending out or
 &gt; vice versa ,,

 &gt; &gt; &gt; yes i have successfully had qmail =
running with amavis ..
 &gt; &gt; &gt;
 &gt; &gt; &gt; Nige
 &gt; &gt; Will it (amavis) scan messages that are =
handled by .qmail 
 &gt; files under
 &gt; &gt; /var/qmail/alias ?
 &gt; &gt;
 &gt; &gt; I use this server and the dot-qmail files =
to forward mail to our new
 &gt; &gt; handy, dandy, PITA exchange server.
 &gt; &gt;
 &gt; &gt; I found that, when moving to exchange, I =
just kept the old, 
 &gt; perfectly
 &gt; fine,
 &gt; &gt; mail server, and then just set up =
.qmail-&lt;username) files 
 &gt; to forward the
 &gt; message
 &gt; &gt; to exchange. There may have been a better =
way, but this way 
 &gt; works pretty
 &gt; &gt; slick. This way, I can have exchange =
sitting on the 
 &gt; internal lan, and not
 &gt; have
 &gt; &gt; to worry so much about security. Exchange =
only 
 &gt; accepts/delivers mail to
 &gt; one
 &gt; &gt; place---my Debian/Qmail server.
