Sure, rather easy. Setup the 10 MX machine so that it has the domain in it's /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts file and it will accept email for that domain, then send it off to the 20 MX machine. Putting in the smtproute will speed this up and stop DNS lookups. That's it.Those are the specifics I was looking for. Thanks.
Great. Glad that helped!
Yeah, SMTP AUTH does use the table. You could build a WAN cluster, with a shared NFS for the /home dir and have the 10 MX machine be a slave to the 20 MX machine's mysql DB, but that gets complicated and doesn't work well over a WAN (trust me on this - I've set a few ISPs up and the NFS share needs to be FAST, like on a 100M LAN). I've never really done what you're asking, and I'm hoping someone else may chime in a little.The second thing you ask can be tricky. Without putting all of the domains/users on that machine as well, you'd have to have them all emailing from a static IP address and just add an entry into the tcp.smtp file to allow that IP to relay.That's pretty much how I think we'll do it because I do believe these guys are coming from static IP addresses. The thing is, they have their own customers they'll have on this thing and I'm guessing they'll want to use SMTP AUTH. What program handles SMTP AUTH in Qmail toaster? Is SMTP AUTH based entirely on the entries in the vpopmail database? Can Ichange which MySQL server hostname it tries to use?Basically, I want to see if it's possible to get the MX 10 server to use the vpopmail database on the MX 20 server.
