ah sendmail to Exchange

[Guest_imported]

Ok,
we have a sendmail server thats all working fine i can send mail to anyone.

However we have a windows 2000 domain thats running exchange 2000. the sendmail server is on the same network. lets say the domain is called 'hudson' all users have an account on 'hudson' and on this linux sendmail server. when i sendmail to user@hudson.com the mail does not end up at excahnge 2000 where it should but it goes to /var/spool/usrname

how do i setup sendmail to send all mail to excahnge?
the sendmail server is using DNS on a windows 2000 server.

When sendmail receives incoming mail for local delivery it passes it off to the local mailer (procmail) which stores it in /var/spool/mail/username waiting to be popped. The pop3 server (qpopper?) sends the users mail to the calling client. I don't know how Exchange works so I won't be much help but I did read a little about it here

so I can understand you question. It sounds like exchange doesn't like to get its mail from the pop server so my guess is that you have to forward all incoming mail to Exchange. You can do this through sendmail with the mailertable or domaintable and send mail for your domain to the Exchange IP. Another thing you could do is set your MX record to point to yor Exchange server bypasing sendmail alltogether for incoming mail.
