Also, the tokens bbemailfromaddress: and mailrelay: do not need
to be added to bbwarnsetup.cfg and should be removed.

The utility that BB is trying to use, in order to send mail, is
defined as MAIL in etc/bbsys.sh. It may be possible to configure
this (or an alternative) to talk directly to your Exchange server.
However, if you are relying on e-mail alerts, this gives you
another point of failure. If (or should that be when) your
Exchange server goes down, you will not get an alert.

More traditional for Unix (and Unix-like) systems is to run mail
server software on the BB server. That can then be configured
to relay messages to the Exchange server and to alternate
locations.

Cheers, Phil.
