Multiple Mail Servers
We have more than one mail server. I would like to have all emails be able to be sent to @calarts.edu and go to the correct server with that email account on it. The current set up is @calarts.edu goes to our main mail server but if you have an account on a separate mail server you must mail it to @servername.calarts.edu All servers are running FreeBSD 4.10 and sendmail. Is there a way for sendmail to be smart and redirect the email messages from the main server to the other servers? -- Sean Murphy Network Technician California Institute of the Arts [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You could change the primary MX records on your servername servers to point the the main server, and then have a few virtusertable entries that will have all the incoming email farmed out to the desired server. -- Anish Mistry pgpSHrPPJJZoc.pgp Description: PGP signature

If mail is being delivered locally and you put in an alias entry like: username:[EMAIL PROTECTED] It should be directed to the appropriate location.
