I am trying to setup MMDF to forwar

[aseidas]

I am trying to setup MMDF to forward to our Exchange server for all unknown hosts. I have tried several configurations but none seem to work, I have MMDF set to not resolve any host names, I want all mail to go directly to the exchange server for distibution. In Scoadmin->Mail-> MMDF Config->forwarding I have the host name of the exchange setup as the relay for unknown hosts and unknown users, and although I do have DNS setup on the server I don't care if it resolves host names because I want all mail to go to the exchange. So I have Do not use nameservice for mail toggled.
I thought this would automatically forward all mail on the system to the Exchange but it does not the mail just sits in the queue . I have looked in the log files for a clue but all of the logs /usr/mmdf/log/chan.log and msg.log only contain two lines over and over again.
name=smtpchn file="smtp.chn", flags=,'
5/ 2 20:31:09 badhos0017: unknown table flag (flags) in 'show="SMTP channel" n
ame=smtpchn file="smtp.chn", flags=,'
5/ 2 20:31:09 badhos0017: unknown table parm ((null)) in 'show="SMTP channel"
name=smtpchn file="smtp.chn", flags=,'

I am sure the flag and the null are the problem ( staing the obvious) but I can't for the life of me figure out where the fields are.

Any help would be greeaaatttllly appreciated
Thanks,

I've done this (

)

On the Exchange side, be sure that Organization\Site\Configuration\Connections\Internet Mail Service. "Internet Mail" "Connections" will accept connections from the SCO box.

On the SCO side, running deliver manually with the -w flag can sometimes give the clue you need for fixing what is wrong.

I'm not sure about the name resolution issue- when using a secondary like this, it really shouldn't matter- but I'd put the ip address of Exchange in rather than it's name anyway.

This should just "work". If MMDF is somehow broken, remove it and reinstall from your CD to start over.

(remove by drilling into SCO Openserver into custom until you find mmdf, then remove it- save any aliases first. Reinstall from your original 5.0.x cd- drill into the software until you find mail clients - at that point you COULD choose sendmail instead if you like)

Hope this gets you started anyway

Tony,
You were right it was just a bad install of MMDF. Thanks ! BTW I have been using pcunix.com for some time you are providing a great service to the SCO community
