I don't know of a guide that would lead you through this step by step, but essentially you would need to do these steps (and it's been years since I've done this, so please forgive my faulty memory): Install the Mercury NLM on your Novell server (see http://www.pegasus.usa.com/ and click on the Mercury release link) by following the installation instructions that are included with it. In Mercury's configuration file, tell it to use your FreeBSD proxy server for outgoing mail. Setup an MX record in your DNS for your Novell server that runs the Mercury NLM to point at your FreeBSD proxy server, e.g. novell.mycollege.edu IN MX 10 freebsdserver.mycollege.edu Modify the sendmail configuration on your FreeBSD proxy server to forward all mail for the Novell server to it directly, e.g. in /etc/mailertable: novell.mycollege.edu smtp:[10.1.1.1] where 10.1.1.1 is the IP address of the Novell server that is running Mercury. (You would also need to "makemap hash /etc/mailertable.db < /etc/mailertable" to turn the mailertable into a .db file for sendmail.)
