Hi:

First, read:

http://www.docs.hp.com/en/B2355-91064/index.html

Next, modify 'etc/mail/sendmail.cf' to specify a "smart relay" for your MS Exchange server to use. Doing this allows the forwarding of mail.

By default the 'DS' macro is empty. Change it to look something like:

DSmsexchange.xyz.com

Now, stop and restart 'sendmail':

# /sbin/init.d/sendmail stop
# /sbin/init.d/sendmail start

To test everything, do:

# mailx -s "Test Message" ainms@xyz.com < /dev/null

You should find the message in your MS (Outlook) mailbox.

Regards!
