cPanel - CentOS - Scalix - Can they get along?

Would it be possible to partition a section of the hard drive off on my cPanel/CentOS server and run Scalix Server in the new partition only for one of my domains what needs to have Enterprise Outlook functionality or am I going to put up a whole new separate box for them and route the MX records there?

Or does Exim have to be removed and replaced? Not sure what to do next. Has anyone attempted this? I saw one post referencing cPanel but that was it.

Hello Veng,

generally speaking, you will have problems running 2 MTA's on one server. There is only one port 25 to listen to per ip-addr.

If you can add a second IP to the server, you could have scalix run on that and exim run on the IP it is running on now.

If that is not possible, one could theoretically have exim forward mail@scalix.domain to scalix running on another port, and have scalix's sendmail forward outgoing mail over exim.

That would be a somewhat complicated (and unsupported) configuration, but it could be done.

The easiest by far, however, would be a second IP on the server.
