Re: Hello, My intro
the below is all still accurate. I got swamped with RL issues earlier this year. I'm planning to be around more this fall and would like to help some. Just wanted to send a bump for this intro :) On Thu, Dec 18, 2008 at 8:08 PM, Chris Johnson j.chris.john...@gmail.comwrote: Hi all, I've been lurking on the mailing list for a while and I finally registered for my fedora account today (username: chrisj) I'm interested in helping out as time permits.

RE: transport maps for bastion
I'm new to the environment but have exp with postfix @ $DAYJOB, so I figure this might be something I can contribute to without sounding too dumb, but if I do please take it easy. :) Currently all mail which goes through bastion (for example all @fedoraproject.org mail) then relays through mx.util.phx.redhat.com. I'm not sure what bastion is but my question is why is the relay going through mx.util.phx.redhat.com currently? I'm guessing bastion is the host the @fedoraproject.org email is delivered on. (?) I can't find mx.util.phx.redhat.com in public dns is there an ACL on the zone or is this an /etc/host entry? Is the relay to mx.util.phx.redhat.com done via a relayhost entry in main.cf? Also, where does mail go after mx.util.phx.redhat.com, I'm guessing there's another hop before the internet because of the dns failure. Which are all redhat.com boxes. So our mail goes from there, to bastion to expand out the aliases we have (ultimately) then back to mx.util.phx.redhat.com to be relayed out to the rest of the world. back to mx.util.phx.redhat.com? does it come from their or from the MX hosts? For various reasons mail bound from bastion to @redhat.com addresses probably needs to go through mx.util.phx.redhat.com, however, mail not bound for @redhat.com shouldn't have to. Just curious as the the various reasons you mention here. I'm proposing using a postfix transport map which explicitly says: .redhat.com smtp:mx.util.phx.redhat.com redhat.com smtp:mx.util.phx.redhat.com * : I believe you could also remove the last line and if a relayhost is used in main.cf comment it out. It should do the same thing since postfix uses dns mx or A record for next hop delivery. So my question for all you nice people is: Can anyone see any problem with doing this? I've tested it out on a different mail server I take care of and it works fine. I would wonder if this is needed at all? why can't the redhat.com domain go to the mx too? just curious. As long as redhat.com isn't one of bastion's postfix mydestination I would expect everything to still work and be a much easier config to change or troubleshoot later. /me likes things as simple as possible :-) PS. was there a meeting yesterday? I was planning on joining but had a conf call scheduled and didn't see notes from the list.
