Package: dma
Version: 0.0.2010.06.17-6
Severity: normal
Hi,
(I couldn't find an upstream bug tracker to report this)
Since auth.conf seems to allow several entries and there is no
documentation I did some experimentation.
It seems that if SMARTHOST is not set dma will try to use the
destination server also as smarthost, which will of course fail if there
is no suitable auth.conf entry for the authentication.
With SMARTHOST set dma will always use the corresponding entry and all
other auth.conf entries are ignored.
This behaviour seems a bit strange to me and is also unclear why
auth.conf actually allows more entries.
I would have expected dma to use the smarthost entry corresponding to
the virtusertable entry (if any), otherwise use them in the same order
as in auth.conf and finally fallback to SMARTHOST. Does this make sense?
Of course you could just document the current behavior :)
Kind regards,
Andrei
