Sendmail configuration for gateway

[Eric Sandquist]

I had the relay domains in the local-host-names file too…  Pulled
them out and everything is working as it should, thanks for the
help…

You should add the domain that your Exchange server accepts mail for to
/etc/mail/relay-domains and then restart MailScanner.

 

Add an entry to /etc/mail/mailertable like so:

 

yourdomain.com        esmtp:[192.168.x.x]

 

Then run make to hash the file to db

 

If your Exchange is configured to reject unknown users, your MailScanner
box should be fine.  I run milter-sender on mine which calls the Exchange
server (or any other MX) to verify the recipient prior to accepting the
message.  It also calls back to verify the sender prior to accepting a
message.

      I’ve got MailScanner/SpamAssassin/Sendmail set up to
      act as a gateway to out Exchange server.  I setup the tables
      as instructed in Wiki.  However, Sendmail keeps rejecting all
      the incoming email stating that the user doesn’t
      exist.  Well, of course they don’t exist on
      filter/gateway machine.  They only exist in the Exchange
      environment.  How do I get Sendmail to just accept incoming
      mail for all or against a frequently updated list of Exchange
      users?

      When a person studies Bible and Mishnah . . . but is
      dishonest in business, and does not speak gently with people,
      what do people say of him? ‘Woe unto him who studies
      Torah. . . . This man studied Torah; look how corrupt are his
      deeds, how ugly his ways.’"
      -- Babylonian Talmud, Yoma 86a
