Thanks Reuben,

I have it up and going now.

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.

Slade

I never used Postfix before, but sendmail should do it too.
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.

All you need to do to enable imap is:
$> chkconfig imap on

If you want POP3, do:
$> chkconfig pop3 on

HTH.
