Sending mails from Exchange 2000 to sendmail

[Wiryanto Victor]

Hi. The sendmail service in my HP-UX server is able to send mails to my Exchange 2000 server, after I had configured the smart relay in the unix server and enable relay for this unix server in my Exchange. I am not using DNS for this case. Problem is, I need to reply mails that had been sent to Exchange back to HP-UX server. Any clues? So far I had only found documents on how to send mails from HP-UX to Exchange, but not the other way round. Some enlightenments would be cool.

Hi,

Use POP3 software in unix to collect mails from exchange server.

Some free POP3 software

fetchmail
Qpopper

This is probably a question for the Microsoft forums really, but how you configure it I guess depends on how you want it to work. I'm not an Exchange admin so I can't give exact answers, but I'd guess theres 2 ways to do it: -

If your exchange server handles mails for user@mycompany.com and you want it to forward messages address to user@unixbox.mycompany.com, there should be an option for domain forwarding.

If you want it to handle certain user ids in different ways, eg fred@mycomany.com and bill@mycompany.com to go to the UNIX box, then you should be able to setup individual user aliases.

Like I say though, for more techie details the Microsoft forums would probably be a better place.

Hi victor,
Did you mean, replying mails that you are receiving from HP server?.
Then reply the mails to
user@hpservername.domain.

You can read the mails of unix users with elm or mail in HPUX.

Post for more info.

Hi Srini,

Bingo! That's what I wanted to do. I know we can read mails from elm or even do a .forward to and exchange account. But how do we reply mails that was sent from or forwarded from the HP-UX? I am using Outlook, connected to my Exchange 2000.
