Receiving Emails as a server
I want to receive emails on my server inside an enterprise network.
Emails are handled by an Exchange Server - my server uses a company-internal SMTP Relay to push Emails to the users. But how can I receive Emails? On possibility would be: I have an Exchange user - can I use his mailbox? The other one, i would prefer: The mentioned server has an entry in the DNS so the name is resolved properly - I could have an Email-server on it that accepts Emails. But what tools are nice to use and how can i achieve that the server is accepting emails? Servers: Debian Sarge (Testmachine), RedHat Enterprise Linux 3; To send Emails i am using postfix Thanks for your help in advance, Der Philipp |
I donīt really understand ur prob....hmm...u want to access ur exchange account from a linux server?
|
To put it in one sentence:
I want an internal running linux server to act as a email server i can send emails to |
then configure it as a smarthost for ur qualify_domain.
|
Where do i do that and what is a smarthost at all?
|
so what are you planning to do?
internal linmailserver for: -receiving external mails? -receiving only internal mails? -> from other servers or only from users? -separate user-accounts on this linbox? -> if yes, then create another account in email-client and itīs done! -only maintenance account = forwarding from exchange to LIN? ?? |
I just want to receive internal email, no external.
All Email should be fetched by postmaster - perhaps i will split it to users on the linux box later on (this is mainly for communication with applications on the server) b.t.w. what kind of server do i have to set up to receive the mails directly? (Sending them to blabla@mybox.mycompany.net ?) Thanks for your help, Der Philipp |
should work if you set up your postfix server (postfix.domain.intra) and
configure postfix.domain.intra as a smarthost in exchange. then you can send email via ur exchange account to postfix. |
Here comes the problem: I have no access to Exchange
|
ur sending mailserver mustnīt do DNS for sending email to postfix.domain.intra.
thatīs why u must configure postfix.domain.intra as a smarthost. |
whatīs about that?!:
configure postfix (IP=192.168.1.10) allowing ip_literals and send emails from ur client to blabla@192.168.1.10 |
When mailing to the box via ip-adress i always get "No valid recipients" (on the site i am sending)
|
thats the point. ur box must be configured to allow ipīs in email-addy!
keyword ip-literals! at the moment I donīt know where this is set in postfix config |
On the sender (in this case the exchange server i cant access) or the recipient server (my box)?
|
think ur box is enough, but donīt know if the exchange will block/deny outgoing "ip-mails"!
try it. ok leisure-time :-)) cu tomorrow |
