I was wondering if anyone had any good sendmail howto's laying around.

I would like to setup a slackbox to accept our companies incomming smtp
mail, and then forward it on to our internal exchange server.

Would the stock sendmail that comes with Slack be fairly easy to setup
to do this?

Or would another mail programs be better?

Any Thoughts would be great.

Thanks,

Bob

ACK! You would be far better off using postfix, AND using its recipient
verification function, else you risk being a source of backscatter which
will get you blocked and blacklisted most likey in a lot of places and
RBL's.

Thanks! I'll take a look at postfix.

I've been replacing Sendmail on Slack with Postfix for years now, and
would recommend you do the same. I own an old version of the Bat Book
you can just have as I never want to look at sendmail again. It just
hurts too much.

As its single purpose is to forward emails to another server you are
really only installing an smtp proxy. Once realized that is the case it
seems clear to me that a proxy with some extra functionality might be an
extra bonus.

I have no experience from administrating assp myself, but if I were in
your scenario I would have a look at assp: http://assp.sourceforge.net/
