SC> The relay_based_on_MX feature is not needed. But would it work? I guess I am now confused as to what that feature does. SC> 1) Add an entry to your mailertable file: SC> mydomain.com esmtp:[ip of primary mail server] 'mydomain.com' would be the domain for which this box will be a relay, correct? 'ip of primary mail server' would be the box that handles the domain normally, correct? Can it a dns name instead of its IP address? SC> 2) Then add mydomain.com to /etc/mail/relay-domains. SC> Whatever you do... do NOT add mydomain.com to /etc/mail/local-host-names. SC> 3) Rebuild the mailertable database and then restart sendmail How? SC> FWIW: There is a second option (this is what I do). Use the DSMTP SC> mailer. Is 'dsmpt' part of the standard sendmail package? Or is this an alternate package? If I use esmtp per your first suggestion, how it function if the primary sendmail is down? You imply that only dsmtp will queue.
