JV,

The website I support has something similar. We set up sendmail on sun boxes to relay mail to the $MAILHUB, and the filers have the sun boxes as their mailhost.

An alternative is setting up packet forwarding on the sun box, and adding a gateway route for it on the netapp. If it can ping $MAILHUB, mail should be ok.

Or, add an ethernet card to the filer and put it on $MAILHUB's network with that nic; again, so that it can ping $MAILHUB.

Dear Toasters, aka Netapp Filer admins:

This is my first post, and my first F840.

I have a problem with the ONTAP Autosupport email feature. My Filer is directly connected with a crossover cable, on a private network. The attached unix host (part of the larger corporate intranet) is a sendmail client, not a server.

Q. How can I get the NetApp Filer, on a private network (and can only talk to this one unix host), to get it's email forwarded to the $MAILHUB which is a centrally-maintained and very reachable from the afforementioned unix host?

Surely someone else on this list has a similar config? Or do y'all just have 100 sendmail servers in your organizations?

Thx in advance -
