I recently subscribed to the above list and found this question about mail server integration. There didn't seem to be an answer for it, so I hope this helps.
It is possible to integrate an email server running Exchange 2003 with a second email server running Mailman. For convenience , the servers will be referred to as exchange.server.com and mailman.server.com (substitute your own as required) Mailman.server.com is taken to run Linux/Unix These are the steps that made it work for me. Update your MX records to read server.com MX preference = 0, mail exchanger = exchange.server.com server.com MX preference = 10, mail exchanger = mailman.server.com You need a secondary (i.e. mailman.server.com) MX record to make this work. Open up the Exchange Systems Manager and go to Administrative Groups/First Administrative Group/Servers/ServerName/Protocols/SMTP/Default SMTP Virtual Server Right-click and select Properties. (left)-click on the Messages tab and enter mailman.server.com where it says: 'Forward all mail with unresolved recipients to host' Click ok. If you have configured your Exchange Server to send a copy of Non-Delivery Reports to the Administrator email address, you need to setup an administra...@server.com address on mailman.server.com as well and make this the default address for any emails that couldn't be delivered (i.e. those causing an NDR). In the Exchange Systems Manager, go to Administrative Groups/First Administrative Group/Routing Group/first routing group/connectors/POP3 Connector Manager and right-click again to access its properties, type mailman.server.com as the email server and fill in the username (i.e. Administrator) and password as required. The Exchange Mailbox should be Administrator. Click on the Scheduling tab and create a schedule as appropriate. The minimum is always every 15 minutes, but you can create a custom schedule to download the emails at different rates during the course of the day. On the Exchange Server, select start/run, type services.msc and press enter. Select Microsoft Exchange Routing Engine and press Restart the service Select Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) and press Restart the service Once you have made these changes, your Exchange Server will continue acting as your organisation's main email server as before, but any messages destined for Mailman (e.g. list-ow...@server.com, list-requ...@server.com, etc )will be passed on automatically and handled by Mailman. Finally, please note that mailman.server.com will become responsible for all NDRs as *any* emails that cannot be handled by exchange.server.com are forwarded to mailman.server.com Kind regards, Cornelius Romein ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
