Send mail from Linux to MS Exchange client

[riwa]

Hi,

We recently installed a Linux server (Redhat Enterprise Server) for our Oracle database. Oracle has the ability to send alerts by email. This worked fine when we still used a W2K server but now we have to send mail from Linux to an Exchange client.
Our entire mailsystem runs on Exchange 5.5 on a NT4 SP6a server with Outlook 2000 on the clients.

Both the mailserver and the linuxserver are in the same network and same location.

Oracle uses sendmail as default but when I do a test with sendmail, the mail does not arrive in the Outlook mailbox.

We are just learing the Linux environment so I need some help with this.
I don't want to receive mail on the linux server but only send it to the Exchange client.

Anyone knows how to do this ? Do I need to configure Linux or Exchange or both ?

Thanks a lot.

Richard

- Check if you can ping the exchange server from the linux server.
- Try to see where the email has been sent, because emails can be sent locally to a unix system ( aka, root@computer12 for example)
- Can the linuxbox reach the exchange server by telnetting to port 25 ? is it accepting mail ?

riwa,

Check this link out....

I use this to mail a logfile from a Mandrake box to my Exchange account after my backup completes. Easy to set up and call from a script.

jsentelle....this program is great.
It's very easy to use, no complicated installation, just copy a file and make it executable and it's completely command driven.
It's axactly what I was looking for, thanks a lot.
