| We have an xserve (10.4.11) with BRU server backup software in a SBS environment. The backup software is able to send emails, but I don't get it working. I already contacted support, but I didn't get an answer that helped me out. They wrote:
"Mac OS X EMail Considerations
The BRU Server server daemon contains a built in MTA. As such, it doesn't require that you have an email, or SMTP server running on the BRU Server server system. However, it does need information about how to transmit mail messages that are generated during normal operations. This means that the BRU Server server system must know how to find the destination mail server and also be able to identify itself using a standard domain name (DNS) type machine name (i.e.: bruserver1.tolisgroup.com rather than bruserver1.local).
If your network environment uses DNS services, the simplest solution is to ensure the BRU Server server system has a proper DNS entry. If you do not use DNS services internally, you may provide the necessary information via the hosts file (/private/etc/hosts on OS X).
If you don't have DNS available (and can't enable it), you will need to edit the hosts file on both your BRU Server server and your mail server. On the BRU Server server system, you must add entries for both the destination mail server and the system itself:
##
# Host Database
#
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
##
127.0.0.1 localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost
## This next line is the local system as the mail server will recognize it
192.168.1.37 bruserver1 bruserver1.tolisgroup.com
## This next line is the entry for the mail server as the local system should know it
192.168.1.5 mail mail.tolisgroup.com
The "Do not change" message relates to the 127.0.0.1 and ::1 entries. It does not mean that you can't add entries for other systems into the file. In this example, we've added both the IP address for the mail server (192.168.1.5) and the machine itself (192.168.1.37). On an OS X system, we would also need to make a change to the /private/etc/sysconfig file
On the mail server, you only need to include the BRU Server server system:
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.1.1 gw gw.tolisgroup.com gw
192.168.1.37 bruserver1 bruserver1.tolilsgroup.com
With these changes in place, each server knows the other and your BRU Server mail will be properly delivered."
I already have a correct DNS entry for the xserve on the SBS server, but any idea how I get this working in a SBS/Exchange environment? In other words, what do I have to do at the xserve and what at the SBS server?
Thanks in advance.
