Hypothetically, I have an Imail server being used as just an incoming MX(as ETRN).
This is not the conventional way to do things but: I want this MX server to deliver
its incoming mail first to a virus scanner(then an Exchange server) and if the virus
scanner is not available, deliver mail directly to the Exchange server. Can I add MX
entries to the HOST file on the Imail MX server to control the delivery behavior to
the other servers in the same way one would add the MX records into a real zone file?
If so, what would the host entries look like?
The assumption here is that Imail, during ETRN, will check the local host to figure
out where to deliver. Normally, this would be a simple A record entry, like
x.x.x.x mail.domain.com
But I want something more like this for the hosts file on the MX so that the mail will
be delivered through the virus scanner first, if available:
domain.com IN MX 10 mail.scanner.com
domain.com IN MX 20 mail.exchange.com
Will this work for a host file? If so does the syntax look correct\complete?
