Depending on what exactly you're needing, I might be able to think of a |
| 11 |
way to do this with Sendmail. - This may be one of the exceedingly |
| 12 |
rare times that Sendmail's splitting MTA and MSA roles may actually be |
| 13 |
beneficial (other than for the security reasons). |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
I'm going to need to ponder this. |

That's certainly possible to do with Sendmail. Or at least it used to |
| 22 |
be. Granted, it's annoying ... to make sure that the various queues are |
| 23 |
separated. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
I'm trying to think through this to see if there is a way to leverage |
| 26 |
the existing separation between the MTA (which has the features for your |
| 27 |
listening SMTP daemon) and the MSA (which I think prefers to talk SMTP |
| 28 |
to a smart host, usually the local MTA). |

Am I regurgitating this properly? |

1) You want incoming SMTP connections to go out via your custom mailer |
| 33 |
script. |
| 34 |
2) You want messages originated locally and piped into $commandTBD to |
| 35 |
go out via SMTP. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Would I be correct in assuming that the path and / or name of the |
| 38 |
sendmail like script that interfaces with the Exchange server could |
| 39 |
change if necessary? I.e. you could name it |
| 40 |
/usr/local/bin/sendmail_to_exchange_gateway if you needed to. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Question: What name are your scripts currently calling to interface |
| 43 |
with msmtp? - Can that name change if necessary? |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
I'm trying to juggle the various pieces as I understand them to see if |
| 46 |
everything can work together. |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
Note: I'm not trying to push Sendmail. - I know I'm strange in my |
| 49 |
predilection for it. - I'm simply trying to solve the problem (as I |
| 50 |
understand it) with the tools that I know. |

| 55 |
The different accounts outbound may complicate things. Are those |
| 56 |
accounts configured as part of msmtp? Or are they configured in the |
| 57 |
things using msmtp? |
