Good Day\Afternoon\Evening,
I've a problem that I know I could figure out. However, because of
restraints (non-physical) put on me I am being pressured to get this right
the first time. (for some reason it takes "others" an hour to test this)
Now that my ego feels better, here is my problem.
I have a web server off-site, web.mydomain.com. A java process on this
server sends mail using my local qmail server, qmail.mydomain.com. As seen
in the header below, firewall.mydomain.com, which is the offsite firewall
for the web server is also in on the deal somehow. Here is a header of a
successfully sent email from web.mydomain.com to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Delivered-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Received: (qmail 24937 invoked from network); 8 Sep 2000 16:44:33 -0000
Received: from unknown (HELO firewall.mydomain.com) (216.35.89.70)
by 4.17.165.190 with SMTP; 8 Sep 2000 16:44:33 -0000
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Received: from web.mydomain.com by firewall.mydomain.com
via smtpd (for [4.17.165.190]) with SMTP; 8 Sep 2000 16:56:44 UT
The IP of qmail.mydomain.com is the 4.17.165.190 address, the 216.35.89.70
address is the firewall IP. I have gotten this to work by removing my
rcpthosts file (duh), but I would like it to work the proper way.
The relaying rules on qmail.mydomain.com work for the web server and the
firewall (tested with rcpthosts present using sendmail) so that doesn't seem
to be the problem.
Should I put firewall.mydomain.com and\or web.mydomain.com in locals and\or
rcpthosts to make this work?
Hope this is enough info,
-=Andy
