stuck with a real problem...

[Dene Ulmschnieder]

Hey All-



We have been trying to resolve this for a few days now and we keep
getting stuck. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.



We are running:

RHL 7.3 Server with MailScanner 4.29.7 with SA (hosting server)

Windows 2003 SBS (our ADC)



The RHL server is virtually hosting several domains for customers of
ours as well as currently hosting our OWN email and web. We are trying
to move all of our own email off of the virtual server and onto the
Windows server to use Exchange. We still want to have our own mail
scanned before it is sent to the Exchange server. We have read the FAQs
and MAQs for this task and have tried implementing the suggested
solution with no success. We keep getting errors sent back to all test
emails stating "too many hops".



I believe the problem is that we have had to set a "smart host"
definition in the Sendmail config on the RHL server. This is due to the
fact that we are running on a dynamic IP address and some ISPs are
blocking relay form dynamic IPs. To resolve this - we have set the smart
host to our ISPs mail server and it works fine all by itself.



When we recently tried setting the mailertable to forward all of our
domains email to the internal IP address of the Exchange server - I
think the smart host definition in Sendmail config is over ruling the
mailertable and it is still sending the mail out - but it is sending it
to the ISP mail server instead of the internal address. It even does
this when we set the mailertable to "ignore MX for SMTP"



Can anyone offer a way around this?
