Hi Daniel, as far as I've seen from the manual, the syntax is "relay [backup [mx]]" and the description says: "Accepted mails are only relayed through servers with a lower preference value in the MX record for the domain than the one specified in mx. If mx is not specified, the default server name will be assumed." <- I read this to say "If mx is not specified, relay to the default server name."
Further on in the manual it says this: "/etc/mail/mailname If this file exists, the first line is used as the server name. Otherwise, the server name is derived from the local hostname returned by gethostname(3), either directly if it is a fully qualified domain name, or by retrieving the associated canonical name through getaddrinfo(3)." I guess, since you didn't supply an mx value, OpenSMTPD tries to relay mail to the default server name, which in your case seems to resolve to the server running the backup MX (which is not unusual, and one can argue whether this is therefore a good default for the "backup" option without an "mx" value supplied). TL;DR: I guess you need to supply an mx value in your smtpd.conf for this to work as intended. -- Michael On 1 November 2015 at 13:57, LÉVAI Dániel <l...@ecentrum.hu> wrote: > LÉVAI Dániel @ 2015-10-31T10:24:35 +0100: >> Hi! >> >> I'm trying to setup a simple backup mx on OpenBSD 5.8-stable, but so far >> it seems more of a burden than a "simple" task :) >> >> smtpd.conf: >> ------------------------8<------------------------ >> pki hostname certificate "/etc/ssl/smtpd_cert.pem" >> pki hostname key "/etc/ssl/private/smtpd_key.pem" >> >> listen on pppoe0 tls pki hostname >> >> table aliases db:/etc/mail/aliases.db >> >> accept for local alias <aliases> deliver to mbox >> >> accept from any for domain "example.com" relay backup tls verify expire 30d >> >> accept from local for any relay >> ------------------------8<------------------------ > > Alright, so the backup mx handling is clearly broken in opensmtpd. > Using "relay via" instead of "relay backup" works: > > accept from any for domain "example.com" \ > relay via "tls://mx1.example.com" pki hostname verify \ > expire 30d > > > Anyway, it would nice to hear some words on this from one of the devs. > Is this intended?
