Hi all,
thought I would post my question here, if this is not the appropriate place,
I apologize.

This is the environment I\'m dealing with:
the company I\'m working for has 3 offices in 3 different cities, with a VPN
connection. Each of the 3 office has its own Exchange server 2000 (the
domain is the same). Right now, I just set up a sendmail server as a  mail
gateway (MailScanner - ClamAV - Spamassassin.....very satisfied), and relay
the mail to the three different exchange servers using mailertable on a per
user policy. Say the sendmail is the only one having a public ip (or better
in a future, behind a firewall), is there a way for users to connect via
imap to their accounts from outside the VPN (home for ex.) ?
All the users mailboxes are on the exchange servers, so I thought if
sendmail can be a mail gateway using mailertable there could possibly be a
way to route imap to the right server using the same rules.......that would
be great. The alternative I\'m fighting with my boss about, is adding an
extra exchange server to be a front end for the other 3....but paying $$$
another licence is, IMHO....... Another thing is providing the web access,
and I thought it could be done with a log-in web page redirecting to the
right server (something to be done PHP-Apache-MySql perhaps).
I\'m pretty new in Linux, and have a 2 week experience with sendmail, so if
I asked too much, please be nice  :-) . Just would like to know if this is
possible or if someone has a better idea. 

Just something I sincerely feel to add. I\'m not really active on the
mailing list cause of my little experience, but I want to thank all the
people that mail, because just reading the messages I learned a lot (thanks
for the tip on the 3com 905B card, I got crazy with network problems on the
samba server!!), and John Morris for WBEL I\'m using on all the server I set
up, THANKS.

Have a nice day
Simone
