Exim through exchange

Hi,

i've got an exchange server for my company and i have a linux server (debian) that i'm using in order to do some mailing list.

Currently exim is set up to send directly to internet but i want to pass by my exchange server for more security (with authentification).

Can you help me to configure this?

Thanks

Postfix? ModusMail by Vircom for Windows? Sound right? if you are running mail yourself. It's a bit of work to setup but a joy to use once it's working. For hosted email, going with Google Apps works just fine.

Well i think i'm near the solution.

elevationkevin, i've set up exim like in your post but i've got this error :

R=smarthost T=remote_smtp_smarthost: SMTP error from remote mail server after RCPT TO:<xxxx@gmail.com>: host 192.168.0.103 [192.168.0.103]: 550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for xxx@gmail.com

I put my user exchange password in the file : passwd.client

xxx@mydomain.fr:xxx:yyy

And this is the content of my file : update-exim4.conf.conf

dc_eximconfig_configtype='smarthost'
dc_other_hostnames=''
dc_local_interfaces='127.0.0.1'
dc_readhost='mydomain.fr'
dc_relay_domains=''
dc_minimaldns='false'
dc_relay_nets=''
dc_smarthost='192.168.0.103'
CFILEMODE='644'
dc_use_split_config='false'
dc_hide_mailname='true'
dc_mailname_in_oh='true'
dc_localdelivery='mail_spool'

Thanks for your help.

My mailing list is short (100-200 by month) but i understand that it's a problem to go through exchange.

Thanks.

Btw i success to do it before seeing this answer.

Solution :

Put exchange IP on smarthost (exim conf) THEN allow exim server IP to relay on exchange relay authorisation.
