sendmail and exchange server

We have a network with QNX nodes and NT nodes. The mail server (Exchange
Server) is on the NT side and we need to send e-mail messages from the QNX
side. Any ideas on where to start?. We started by making modifications to
the sendmail.cf with no results at all!

If you go to QNX’s Knowledge Base at: http://support.qnx.com/support/bok/index.html
and type ‘sendmail’ in the keywords box you get:

It looks like it was replaced by QMail, if you go to:

Yes I saw that QMAIL is offered as a more secure replacement to SENDMAIL
but with less documentation available (there is no t “bat” book for it) and
being new to this aaplication of TCP/IP I prefer to start with known soft.

Still my problem is to make the QNX side (SENDMAIL/QMAIL) talk to the
mailserver (EXCHANGE SERVER)… anyone with tips or ideas?

Sure. We run sendmail to Exchange and didn’t have any problems, but things
to
watch are:

  1. You must use DNS to use sendmail. Make sure you have MX records setup
    appropriately.
    Verify with nslookup.

  2. If you want to send directly to the exchange server, as opposed to an
    internet gateway,
    then you will have to turn off authentication. This is according to our
    network guys and to
    reinforce it I send to our public address as opposed to the internal email
    server.

  3. It looks like I am running the 4.25 sendmail.cf as-is. I know on older
    releases you had
    to know how to customize it. I do remember an issue on the default 4.25
    sendmail.cf
    about having a problem with doing both local delivery and forwarding that I
    had to hack
    the configuration (My BAT book was at work and I was in a hurry - HACK is
    what it is)

  4. Make sure you have syslogd running - it will tell you a lot.

  5. Review running ‘sendmail -bt’ for address test mode - it will tell you
    where it thinks
    it should deliver based on an address.

For more hints you will need to provide specific problems…
