I just finished this kind of installation. Here's what I've setup:
qmail running as gateway out on internet as mail.aaa.com .
Exchange 4.0 internal running pullmail known as aaa.com.
Setup qmail as a virtual domain for @aaa.com per Ch 11 of Running qmail
Setup qmail-pop3 per LWQ and various docs.
Put mail.aaa.com & localhost in control/locals - DO NOT PUT aaa.com in
locals!!
In .qmail-default put | echo "X-Envelope-To: $DEFAULT@$HOST"; cat) |
forward user-finaldelivery
In .qmail-finaldelivery - ./Maildir/
Setup pullmail to /r:X-Envelope-To into Exchange system. This fixes some
nasty problems with pullmail/exchange handling mailing lists, etc.
How this setup works for me is every 10 minutes pullmail is run on my
Exchange server to pop all mail for the virtual domain and shove it into
SMTP. The X-Envelope-To: field will contain the [EMAIL PROTECTED] and
pullmail will use that as the RCPT-TO and To: fields so Exchange can
handle the email properly. After this, read then reread all man pages,
and other docos available! Buy pizza/beer for the list!
