Re: sending an email from exchange to unix user@localhost

Hi

May i know ur sendmail version???

How it has been configured for naming resolution....

IN Exchange :

*) HOW dns entries made for sendmail?
*) Could u able to receive a mail, if u send from sendmail.

IN HPUX:

*) NAme resolution
*) Entries about Exchange server
Things are very easy, when u know about it...

Re: sending an email from exchange to unix user@localhost

SureshKumar,

1> resolution is happening through win2k dns service for my hpux box.

2> dns is win2k

3> entries are mx & A record entries for the exchange & A record for the hpux box.

5> my exchange server on on win2k.

6> entries in host file are erptest.domainname fro hpux box & mail3.domainname for exchange server.

Hi safir,

From the Exchange Administrator,
*)File, New Custom Recipient.
+)On the New E-mail Address dialog box,
-)Internet Address.
Goto Properties of Internet Address.
enter the non-Exchange user's final address. ( username@unixserver.domainname )


Once u fill up that, u will be getting Empty properties for Non-exchange user will come up. Fill the minimum First, last and alias. (here alias is the exchange id)


*) If u want the user to receive the mail on username@domainname, hence u may need to create an secondary SMTP address.
+)Goto E-Mail Addresses tab. (On the property of the user)
-)Select New, and in the box on the Internet Address Properties screen, enter the secondary SMTP address in the format appropriate to the local organization (e.g., username@domainname).
+) Check on that SMTP => Unix address

By this method ur user mail box will be on Unix server. Exchange will reroute the mails from Unix and vise versa.

Limitation : Ensure this is an rerouting mechanism, Hence the sending id should be username@domainname. Change in the Reply-to addresses accordingly.

ALL THE BEST.

Things are very easy, when u know about it...
