Sorry my dumb typo mistake.....
Well the set up is I have....
1) an external email hosted server that runs postfix
2) I currently use pop2exchange to go and pop email off this postfix server
and forward it to the exchange 2000 server.
This works fine, but pop2exchange is flaky at best and I can go days with
out it working unless someone complains about not getting external email
in...
So I was thinking of using fetchmail to pop the email off the postfix server
instead of the pop2exchange doing it, and forward it to the exchange
server.
I thought of smtping it right from the postfix server to exchange server,
but I do not know too much about postfix, plus its running in conjunction
with VHCS2 hosting control panel.....
Is this any clearer? Sorry if I was obtuse before hand...
Rob...

do you know how to set up exchange for this? I currently use
pop2exchange,
to grab email from the email server and forward it to exchange...
For clarity, how exactly is your mail flowing? Internet --> Exchange, and
then you want one domain to go from Exchange --> Postfix? Or Internet -->
Postfix, and then one domain Postfix --> Exchange?
I just have to figure out how to forward only my domain form the server
to
here at the office with postfix.....
In the former situation (Exchange --> Postfix), you can run fetchmail on
the
postfix server with a configuration like this for every user:
poll exchange.server.com with protocol pop3
user your_username there
with password "your_password"
is your_address(_at_)postfix(_dot_)server(_dot_)com here
smtphost your_address(_at_)postfix(_dot_)server(_dot_)com
(not sure if you'll need the last line, I think I added that to mine
because I
needed SMTP auth or something - it's been ages since I set it up)
Unfortunately, you'd have to add one entry for every user on the domain
this
way (but you get to use fetchmail ^_^).
I don't know anything about Exchange, but I imagine it at least has an
option
per account to forward the mail to another address. You could tell it to
forward all mail to your_address(_at_)postfix(_dot_)server(_dot_)com - add
postfix.server.com
(something that has an MX host of the postfix server address), and then on
the postfix server have your_real_domain.com set up, and then
postfix.server.com (substituting the actual domain of course) as an alias
domain. With qmail/vpopmail, you would use vaddaliasdomain - I don't know
anything about postfix, but you might use the qmail example in a question
to
the postfix list to give a clear idea of what you need.
In the latter situation (Postfix --> Exchange), you could configure
postfix to
route all mail for that domain to the exchange server. This would be the
simplest setup but again I don't know how to do it with Postfix (but use
the
smtproutes example if you want to ask the postfix guys).
Cheers,
