Hello ya'll

I'm running Mandrake 7.0 on an Intel based machine. I have a Microsoft Exchange Server running external and internal email for our Microsoft clients. The Mandrake box is a local intranet machine providing sales scripts thru Apache and company wide forms. The forms are primarily sent to internal users through sendmail. Although sendmail actually sends the mail out the firewall on our T1 and back in to the exchange server which then delivers it to the recipient.

How can I set sendmail to send to the "Virtual IP" side of the Exchange server so it doesn't go to the interet first?

Thanks in advance
 
Have a look at your sendmail.cf!
You need to add a line like this:

DHexchange.yourdomain.com

given that exchange is the hostname in yourdomain.com.

Sendmail will forward all internal mail to exchange and still send external mail to their MX host!
You need also your exchange as MX in your DNS!
