[Mailman-Users] connect to exchange server

[Jeanne Ilchuk]

Thanks, Grant.  My email to the mailman list is taking a long time to get through.  Would you mind doing a reply all ?  I'm on vacation and will work on this next week.  Needs to be up and running by the end of the year.

The mailing lists will be on the mailman server [solaris].  I was as little contact as possible with the exchange server and the person running it.

I don't think that it is possible to integrate Mailman with Exchange
like you can with Sendmail / Postfix / Qmail / etc.  But that does not
mean that it can not be made to work.

I have no idea.

*nod*

If I recall Solaris uses "mail" as sort of a ""magic host name as a
place holder that everything uses and the system is set up so that the
magic name of "mail" resolves to the actual mail server.  Am I any where
close?

Ok.  (I think.)

Exchange is /many/ things, including POP3, IMAP, SMTP, X.400, etc.

Either way, you are going to have to configure Exchange to route some
email to the Solaris mail server, be it individual mail boxes, or a
sub-domain.
