This is going to be a repository of all email to/from Exchange as an extra backup and fast retrieval of messages. So email comes from the outside through Exchange (this is where it gets scanned) - delivered to users mailboxes as normal- however I'll turn on Journaling in Exchange to forward a copy of these messages to Sendmail.

The simplest things to do: 1. Create user account for whoever's going to receive mail in that server. 2. Edit /etc/mail/sendmail.mc so sendmail can receive mail from network by commenting out this line: dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA') 3. Regenerate sendmail.cf (look at the comment on the top of sendmail.mc). 4. Start / restart sendmail: $> service sendmail restart You should be able to receive mail in that box from outside. If you have firewall, make sure you open port 25. If you use tcpwrapper to limit access, make sure you have the following in /etc/hosts.allow: sendmail : ALL You said another server scan the mail. So the mail arrive to that scanner server first, or what? Then how does the mail get to this server? We need to know what you intend to do specifially. I still don't understand what your "nothing is working" implies. > Use Courier-imap to view mail from OE on a windows machine All you need to do to enable imap is: $> chkconfig imap on If you want POP3, do: $> chkconfig pop3 on HTH.
