Chris,you gave me a very interesting suggestion for a similar problem
I had using /var/qmail/control/defaulthost/<qmail-hostname>.
Attempting to send mail toward some SMTP servers I get refuses
and or mail-abuse.org notifications.
qmail machine name is linux.ik5bcu.ampr.org (this is a unknown name)
but to overcome the above problems I changed the ../defaulthost
from this name to ik5bcu.ampr.org (my AMPRNET hostname=valid)
*note*:I changed *only* ../defaulthost and now I can send
mail to every server but I have some doubt that this is not
the right procedure,expecially looking to the changed return-path
and possible MAILER-DAEMON messages now addressed to ik5bcu.ampr.org
instead to linux.ik5bcu...
Well I think that the better thing be to restore ../defaulthost
with proper qmail name,but then I don't know how to set *all*
mail toward my ISP...is it wildcard accepted on this case:
echo *:mailserver.yourisp.com >> /var/qmail/control/smtproutes
And if I'd send mail using my second ISP (spare)?
