My company has recently decided to switch to (groan) an Exchange server + Outlook. Prior to the switch all mail was handled by sendmail (8.9.3-20) on Linux, and now the Linux server (Milhouse) should act as a backup server.
I would like to set it up so that when a message reaches Milhouse it is forwarded on to the exchange server. We will soon have our MX records point to milhouse as a backup server, but what I need to do is configure those forwards. I know I could write a script to add a .forward file to each user's home directory, but I am looking for a more dynamic approach - hopefully something that doesn't require maintaining the user accounts if possible. Is there some sort of global .forward file that can forward all mail at milhouse to the same username in a slightly different domain?
Also, I'm going to be updating sendmail to the most recent version soon so if the solution works on both versions that would be extremely good. Thanks in advance for your help!
