I am running sendmail 8.11.5 and there is a needs fr me to us the .forward or .porcmailrc to auto-forward mail to Microsoft Exchange 5.5 mailbox account. When i try to configure two linux e-mail account to auto-forward mail to single Exchange 5.5 account, there only one e-mail received in Exchange server. I need to autoforward one same mail from linux to Exchange.

Can anyone tell me the stucture of Exchange and Sendmail?
What i suspect is Microft Exchange use "message ID" as unique key, when two mail autoforward to Exchange, Exchange treat as one e-mail because both e-mail has same "message ID"

Whereas Linux Sendmail use "SMTP id" and "Message ID" as a combine key. So in Linux Sendmail, it treat as two e-mail. The Linux Sendmail can have same "message ID" but different "SMTP ID". It still unique!

Thanks in advance
