Have you considered doing it a different way?

The easiest thing to do is to forward the smtp port through to your exchange
server.

Unfortunately straight out of the box the Qube2 does not do port forwarding
so you'll need to install additional unsupported software.  The necessary
software has been discussed on this list before.

You could dump Exchange and upgrade to the mail server (POP3 or IMAP) on
your Qube2.  ;-)

Alternatively you could create accounts for all of your Exchange users on
the Qube2 and set forwarding addresses for each of them to matching Exchange
accounts.

It is probably far less hassle to install a hardware gateway which supports
port forwarding.

Cheers,  Malcolm
