Configuring a linux mail server

You can configure your Linux mail server such as sendmail. Just follow the process here I given below-

At first try to setting the line which starts with "DS" to the name of your windows exchange server. From this-

Code- DS to Code- [email protected]

Now you have to run this command, then you will see the change of outputs like this-

localhost:/:$ grep ^DS /etc/sendmail.cf

DShostname.domain.com

localhost:/:$

In this step, you must have to try a single mail command like this-

mailx -s "subject" [email protected] << /dev/null

 Now you are done.

For other way to resolved you can also visit the site here I suggest you.

Configuring a linux mail server

 

Some of the well-established pieces of Microsoft technology that most enterprises use are Microsoft Exchange Server, and Microsoft Office Outlook. It's often a bit of a project to migrate away from them and the scope of the migration is what makes it difficult.

To that end, some organizations choose to take a gradual approach. Start by migrating the clients, leave the server as-is for the time being and then migrate the server once people are used to the new front-end. This requires some understanding of how to get specific Linux mail clients to talk to Exchange, as each one poses its own particular issues.
