_Giuseppe,
>> - Every LNX user MUST have an OS login on LNX server
There are two ways to do this
1. one which requires every user who wants to recieve external
mail to have a OS Login
2. another which gets past the problem of giving every user who
wants to receive external mail an OS Login.
In the later ( #2) procedure you create an account 'lnx' which
points to the '/var/spool/lnx'. Then you create entries in the
sendmail.cfg file for LNX similar to those that exist for POP. Then in
the aliases file you create entries for all thos LinkWorks users who
want to recieve external mail. Thru the Administration tool in
LinkWorks provide the LNX alias as the external id for the user but do
not specify any thing in the OS-Login fields. And it'll work !
>> - How I can point to the dedicated mail server (We are not allowed
>> to send/receive mail on Internet directly)
For this you'll have to do mail configuration on your system. On the
DNS server for your internet domain you must add MX records for your
host which will enable mail delivery to you host.
Hope this helps !
Ravi.

_Giuseppe,
MX Records are DNS ( Domain Name Service ) records on the DNS
Primary host which enable external Mail delivery to the said host.
So for the following conditions...
Host name : host
Domain : domain.com
FQH (fully qualified host-name) : host.domain.com
On the Primary DNS Server you'll have an address record for the above
like
host.domain.com. IN A 16.158.128.34 (something like this)
So you've got to ask the sys$mangler to add records like
host.domain.com. IN MX 10 host.domain.com
Like for mail delivery to node atlast.qca.dec.com [16.158.128.150] on
the primary DNS I've got records like
atlast.qca.dec.com. IN A 16.158.128.150
IN MX 10 atlast.qca.dec.com
IN MX 100 mail1.digital.com
IN MX 200 mail2.digital.com
IN MX 300 mail3.digital.com
The number before the host provides the priority for delivery.. so this
previous set implies that first deliver it to atlast then if not to
mail1 then if not to mail2 and so on....
Have fun !
Ravi.

maybe what customer wants (receive only))
