If you want to get FreeBSD to forward your email to the MS-Exchange
server, you have to:
1. make sure sendmail is running. (ie remove sendmail_* lines from
/etc/rc.conf)
2. # cd /etc/mail
3. # cp freebsd.mc `hostname`.mc
4. edit `hostname`.mc and uncomment the following line:
define(`SMART_HOST', `your.isp.mail.server')
5. replace `your.isp.mail.server' with your Exchange server.
6. # make
7. # make install
8. # sh /etc/rc.sendmail restart
This will configure sendmail to send all non-local mail to the
Exchange Server for further processing (eg: to send email to the 'Net).
If you want to suck your email from the Exchange server, you'll have
to install something like ports/mail/fetchmail.
Cheers.
