I have a limited understanding of email, and how it works. Not sure if I need an MTA or MDA.
I am trying postfix, and am unsure how I need to configure the server. Is it an Internet smarthost? Satellite system?
I am configuring a Rancid server on a Debian box. We have a Windows domain, with an internally hosted Exchange server.
I want the Rancid server to use our Exchange server to send all its notifications. I do not want the Rancid server to serve as an SMTP server. Which is to say, I just want notifications to go to the Exchange server, to be delivered to my domain email account. I don't want the Rancid box to receive or deliver email from anywhere else.
Rancid has a default sendmail file, and example, but I almost cried trying to set it up. I was able to send an email via telnet, but I am unable to receive notifications from Rancid. I tested with changing configs, and updates.
If someone could point me to a practical example, I would appreciate it. All the guides I have found seem to use the Rancid server as its own SMTP server.
Thanks
