Hi, my solution to this kind of problem is the following : Set up a relay mailserver (in my case Postfix) which accepts mail (and has the MX record for the domain) for the domain but has no mailboxes. Postfix takes care of spamblocking (dnsbl and spamfilter ). In Postfix I use a transport table to relay the mail to the Exchange/Whatever mailserver, that can also be on a nonstandard port (in my case port 2525). Delivering to a dyndns host is really easy, Dyndns uses a short ttl for the hostname (something like 3 minutes ?). I set up a nameserver record which let a 'fixed' name (like mail.domain.nl) point to the dyndns name using CNAME. mail.domain.nl. IN CNAME mailhost.dyndns.org Sending the mail to the dyndns hostname directly without the nameserver trick is also possible. Using a non-standard port is to bypass SMTP limits from the provider and to make (almost) sure your mail doesn't get delivered to a mailserver of someone else ;) Regards, Michel On Fri, 2009-04-03 at 09:40 +0200, Rudi Ahlers wrote: > Hi all, > > I hope this isn't too OT, but since I use a CentOS5.2 + Exim mail > server (which is hosted in one of our data centres) I don't think it > should be. > > On of our clients use an MS Exchange 2003 SBS server, with exchange > for their internal email.
