newbie: Forward mail

[dkwj]

Dear all,

I'm new to this thread and new to Exchange server as well.

I have an exchange 5.5 SP4 and an unix mail server running. I have only one public IP for my connection. Currently setup is that the unix mail server receiving the incoming mail to perform filtering and re-route the mail to the exchange server. This works fine.

The problem is that the users could not send mail out through the Exchange server as it is running under private IP address and no public IP is mapped to it.

Therefore, I'm wondering whether is it possible to forward all the outgoing emails from the exchange server to the unix mail server and let it relay mails out? If it is possible, how should i go about it?

Hope you guys can provide me some advise and thanks for you guys in advance. Thank you.


Regards,
Danny

In Exchange Admin, open Internet Mail Service under Connections. On the Connections tab, under Message Delivery you need to set "Forward all messages to host" and the address of your unix box. So long as the unix box is permitted to relay for your exchange server then that should work
