MTA/Perl script for relaying only to Exchange-users

[Dave Helton]

Hi,

Running the script in a cron job would work....  seems to me to be a lot of overhead.

mimedefang (another milter) has a check_with_ad_server_for_valid_user() function.
(it's not called that but you get the idea..)
I used to use it a lot, but I convinced a customer the Exchange server was not worth the money or effort.
(long time ago, when it wasn't ;)

Since mimedefang has segments that are only called during certain parts of the mail conversation...
you can implement as much or as little as you like.  BTW... written in perl.

I assume the script was only used to extract the recipient addresses
from AD and build the necessary Sendmail files via a cron job so
performance shouldn't be an issue at all.
