Oh, joy. So the address that is publicly visible is just a 'vanity' address that forwards to the 'real' address behind the scenes? When you attempt to *send* an email, Exchange puts an address on it automatically, and will *reject* any attempts to send messages with a From: address that doesn't belong to you (which means it's broken for the 'forward as redirect' operation, and I don't see any way to fix it). What address(es) will your server accept when you attempt to send mail? Does it make you send using the exchange.xx.yy.zz address, and then rewrite it to the unit.xx.yy.zz address automatically? Or do you send using the unit.xx.yy.zz address? Your current configuration uses the unit.xx.yy.zz address, but has the URL which was obtained with the exchange.xx.yy.zz autoconfiguration?

I suspect it's not *that* uncommon. Nobody in their right mind would really want to have an Exchange system facing the public Internet; wouldn't you *always* want it behind some kind of buffer server? > Finally, you've labeled this as an Alpha release - do you have any idea > of the timescale for getting it to beta and ultimately to stable? Within 2-3 months, I hope. If that. The mail side has reached the point where we are using it exclusively for our work email instead of imap/smtp. I've been doing so for the last couple of months, in fact. Read-only calendar support is already working, and we've fixed a few long-standing bugs in Evolution that our QA team found when testing that. We are currently working on write support for the calendar, and personal addressbook support. And on a few nasty implementation details that we postponed until after the Alpha release. -- David Woodhouse Open Source Technology Centre david.woodho...@intel.com Intel Corporation _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
