semi-OT -- anyone using hobbit-mailack with ms-exchange 2003 as the MTA?
list Tom Kauffman
My exchange guys are having trouble with this. I'm trying to send mail to a cell phone from hobbit@<server.domain>, return address hobbit@<domain> -- and need to get the result forwarded to hobbit@<server.domain> (our hobbit server is not accessable from the outside world, so I'm specifying a return address on our exchange email server). The email is getting back to exchange, we just can't seem to figure out how to get it back to the hobbit server. The alternative would be to build a box to sit in the dmz and set it up to receive the email and forward it -- I thought it would be easier to just get exchange to handle the forwarding. MS-Exchange 2003 on MS Advanced Server 2003. Everything I find via google seems to be Exchange 5.0/5.5, or involve two different domains. TIA Tom Kauffman NIBCO, Inc.

The simple work around would be to setup whatever account is getting the email now to just forward to hobbit at server since, presumably, your exchange server can see hobbit pretty easily.

Tom, It sounds like you are attempting to use a subdomain for your hobbit server, while your Exchange server is handling your domain mail. I found this article which might help you out. In fact I may give it a try as well since I have the same scenario. http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/Forwarding_Mail_to_an_External_Recipient _Part_II.html Dave

I believe Exchange can do IMAP, provided the right bits are installed. This may involve the ritual sacrifice of a keg of beer to the Exchange Wizards, though... :) Anyway, if you can get Exchange talking IMAP, then"fetchmail" ought to be able do the rest. Ralph Mitchell

Yup -- I am indeed trying to use a subdomain, and it doesn't seem to be working. We have tried following the example you pointed us to, and we're getting delivery failures with a ststus of 5.4.6 (too many hops). It *looks* like the exchange system is looping internally; there seems to be a step missing somewhere. (It doesn't help that the article indicates this should work for subdomain mail, but shows examples only for cross-domain adressing). We've got a couple more ideas to thrash out; I'll let you know if we ever get it working. Tom

Tom,
It sounds like you are attempting to use a subdomain for your hobbit
server,
while your Exchange server is handling your domain mail.

try
as well since I have the same scenario.

Have you tried using fetchmail? I have a similar problem and use fetchmail to retrieve my mail from an exchange server. Thanks, Larry Barber
