[nflug] Linux MTA Question

[justin.bennett at dynabrade.com]

        We have a similar situation, mail for say 'dynabrade.com' 
delivered to a linux box first, and then via an aliases to the 
user at dominobox.dynabrade.com. not so much for spam (we have a barracuda 
spam firewall), but we're still in a phased roll out from a courier-imap 
solution to Notes, so this way once I transition a user over to Notes, I 
just update their alias on the linux server to forward their email to the 
domino box. 

        I may remove the linux box from the equation in the future once 
we're all done, but I may keep it also. It's a little more to maintain, 
but I like (or an used to)  the way aliases are done with linux/sendmail 
better  than domino.  Yeah I could create a domino group with an internet 
address for each alias, or use mail-in databases, but I'm getting narrow 
minded in my old age. :) 

 
Thanks
Justin

Thanks for the follow up.

I'm currently in a situation where  I may need to do just what you did. 
(Have Domino, will be installing linux mail server for a relay/spam 
filter...)

Yeah that would work, however I'm not exactly sure how to do that in 
domino. :) Eitherway I found my notes fomr the last time, what I did was: 

edit submit.mc under /etc/mail.

Change:
"FEATURE(`msp', `[127.0.0.1]')dnl"

To:
"FEATURE(`msp', `my_smtp_server')dnl" 

then did a "make -C /etc/mail" 

and restarted sendmail. 

This makes sendmail send all outgoing mail via the smtp-server directly 
without connecting to port 25 on the loopback interface, and processing 
the mail it's self. 

This way I don't need to bind senmail to a port. 

Thanks 
Justin

Can you configure the Domino server to allow just the one domain to be 
relayed?

Hey everyone, 

       I'm having an issue and I can't remember how I got around this 
before. I have a linux server (RH 4AS) running lotus domino, the domino 
server binds to port 25 for incoming email. I need to be able to run 
sendmail so that my linux logs can get delivered, however it will not bind 
on 25 obviously.  I bound it to another port, however when I try to send a 
mail (simple echo test | mail jbennett at dynabrade.com) It tries to use the 
domino running on port 25 rather than the sendmail bound on port 2525. The 
problem is the domino server accepts mail for a different domain than the 
one where I need to send the logs to, so it rejects the messages. 

       I've tried using a smart host option and then commenting out the 
DAEMON options to bind to port 25, but none of it worked, it still wanted 
to use port 25.  Any idea how I can get my local linux mail (things like 
cron logs, backup scripts ect.) to send without having to have sendmail 
bound to port 25? 

I think I did something so that all mail from the system was sent another 
smtp server and not using the local sendmail. 

Thanks 
Justin
