Debian Mail through Exchange Server

Deploying our first Debian Etch server in a Windows AD
environment. Have Samba installed and configured and the Debian server joined
to the AD.

 

Does anyone know of a walkthrough or how to configure the
Debian server to route mail messages through the Exchange server? It’s
open to relay for clients on the LAN, so I don’t need to pass
login/password info, just want any messages from MRTG, Syslog or Nagios to
route to the Exchange server and go to the Administrator address for the
domain.

 

Thanks in advance

Exchange should be able to speak plain SMTP so it isn't any different
than other MTAs. You may use 'dpkg-reconfigure exim4' (or whatever MTA
you already have installed) to set it up or install some really simple
SMTP client like ssmtp which can only do what you currently need.

RE: Debian Mail through Exchange Server

I have exim4 installed, but the only walkthroughs I find are to
configure it as a frontend server forwarding mail to a backend exchange
server, or as a side-by-side mail server. What I'm looking for is a
configuration example to route any mail messages from the server through
the Exchange server rather than locally. I don't want the Debian box to
be a mail server at all if possible, just a client.

dkpg-reconfigure exim4 and tell it to use the Exchange server as a
"smarthost".
