Thanks, Grant. My email to the mailman list is taking a long time to get through. Would you mind doing a reply all ? I'm on vacation and will work on this next week. Needs to be up and running by the end of the year.

The mailing lists will be on the mailman server [solaris]. I was as little contact as possible with the exchange server and the person running it. >Who is administering Exchange for you? The microsoft person. > Also, what version of Exchange are you using? version 8.1.240.0 Here is some other Exchange server info I get when I'm logged in.

I don't think that it is possible to integrate Mailman with Exchange like you can with Sendmail / Postfix / Qmail / etc. But that does not mean that it can not be made to work. > Do I need to run again with cgi-gid=mailnull ? or can I just chgrp? I have no idea. > --with-mailhost=mail is the hostname our exchange server *nod* If I recall Solaris uses "mail" as sort of a ""magic host name as a place holder that everything uses and the system is set up so that the magic name of "mail" resolves to the actual mail server.

Exchange is /many/ things, including POP3, IMAP, SMTP, X.400, etc. > Thanks for all the speedy replies. I'll be back! -- Back to the > drawing board -- suggestions welcome. Either way, you are going to have to configure Exchange to route some email to the Solaris mail server, be it individual mail boxes, or a sub-domain.
