Please disregard that last email. I hit a shortcut for send.
Exch1 = exchange server 1
Exch2 = exchange server 2
Incoming SMTP => sends to =>
=> Exim1 (clean email then relay, no local users) => send to =>
=> Exch1 (user not here send to Exch2) => send to =>
=> Exch2 (user not here either send to final exim) => send to =>
=> FinalExim (exim accepts mail but no local users for shared smtp
domain, reject mail)
That is the mail flow I'm trying to achieve. I think it is straight
forward if I has another mail server.
I'm trying to functionally make Exim1 be FinalExim based on if the mail
came from Exch2 and its destined for the shared SMTP name space.
I hope that helps.
I think you're suggesting put Exim in the middle of the exchange servers
with a list of local users. I think that might be possible too but I
was hoping to work it this way if possible. I'm leaving out a bunch of
people issues associated with this migration. I'm not the only one
involved. It is very likely a person would be moved or created without
the list being updated properly. I could batch the whole thing but this
termination point seems to avoid all that.
Thanks,
Scott
