Is there a way to get mail from a MS Exchange server that is addressed as user at host.domain.com rather than the user at domain.com so that users on host.domain.com can read their mail on that host (CentOS). (I'm assuming that Exchange needs to know about host.domain.com, somehow.) Frank M. Ramaekers Jr. Systems Programmer MCP, MCP+I, MCSE & RHCE American Income Life Insurance Co.

So you want exchange to forward the mail to the centos? Or you want the centos to pickup the mail from the exchange? Frank M.

They will try for an MX record first, then an A record if the MX doesn't exist. If that directs it to the right place, port 25 is open between them, and the receiving machine is configured properly everything should work. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
