Hi, does courier override dns mx entries with itīs local settings? I have a situation, where this happens. I would like to change this.
Server.A is a machine that is configured as a Fallback Mail Server. If the main.mailserver.dom is offline, dns A records change and Server.A will be main.mailserver.tld itself. (Yes, multiple mx records should be sufficient, but we use this fallback for webservers anyway so using it for mailservers was a site-effect...) So Server.A has always a fully functional courier configuration for several domains, including example.com, waiting in "hot standby mode" for itīs combat order. Now, just for some practical reasons and to not let the machine feel so lonely, I am using this Server.A as the mailserver for some private addresses. So I discovered, if I want to send mail to a friendsdomain.tld, that is configured in esmptacceptmailfor and hosteddomains on the same machine, it will never leave Server.A. Note: "dig mx friendsdomain.tld" in this case will NOT point with any hostname or ip to Server.A ! So, if I understand things right, courier seems to override infos from mx record with the settings in /etc/courier. Is this a feature? Can this be changed? What did i wrong? If you want to discuss [dis-] advantages of the dns a-record-changing fallback strategy, this should be a seperate thread but nevertheless it would be very interesting to hear your opinions. Thanks for your attention! Have a nice day, Peter ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.
