Getting email from AIX to Microsoft Exchange

[sgivens]

I'd like to be able to forward email sent to an AIX account to MicroSoft Exchange. Is there software that needs to be purchased/implemented? Do I use a .forward file or aliases file? If so, what would I put in it?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>

You might like to have a look at a product called NT Mail which is an implentation of unix mail (sendmail) for NT.<br>
<br>
I would think it's possible to send mail from your unix account to NT Mail and that email to be passed onto Exchange<br>

Yes, you'll be able to forwarding email sent to an AIX account to an existing Exchange account.
Try this:
Edit .forward file:
vi .forward
Add one line with the destination account: Ex.
sgivens@xycorp.com (xycorp -- Exchange Dominio)
(You can put into this file more that one account)
Save it and that's it.

I hope it works...

This is how I have configured my servers to forward mail. I edited the sendmail.cf and aliases files in the /etc directory.

In the sendmail.cf add/edit the following lines

#DWYourHostName
DWxyserver1(server name without a domain)
#DMYourDomainName
DMxycorp.com
#CWlocalhost
CWxyserver1
#DSmailer:relayhostname
DSsmtp:xymailserver (Exchange mail server)

In the aliases file add the following lines

#Alias for maildaemon
root:youremailaddress@xycorp.com
sapper:sapper@xycorp.com

Make srue run the sendmail -bi after you updte this file.
The above example would send root mail such as errors to your exchange account.
