Re: local mail routing help
Thanks for that post, Brett. Make sure server1.mydomain.com is accepting mail for server1.mydomain.com in the rcpthosts file, and that Both servers are open relays. server1 is in dmz and server2 behind firewall. server1 will get a rcpthosts file as soon as it starts forwarding to server2. server2.mydomain.com (is it a qmail box?) is allowed to receive mail for server2.mydomain.com and mydomain.com . Restart qmail on each box server2.mydomain.com has the following locals file. server2.mydomain.com:mydomain.com mydomain.com:mydomain.com and it should work. By the way, if no mail is stored on server 1, you shouldn't need the locals file. Didn't think of that. I wonder if that's the cause. I'll zap it and see what happens.
Re: local mail routing help
Brett, Is this really a locals file? Try: mydomain.com server2.mydomain.com (ie without the :mydomain.com's) Brett. Thanks for pointing that out. I am not sure how it got in, but that's how it was. It's fixed now. Probably the 2am cut paste while tunnelling in from home. I took your advice and now the mail no longer stays on server1. I haven't gotten them on server2 yet, but this is a firewall issue that I need to resolve. I assume they are sitting in the queue waiting for the firewall to open up. jean
local mail routing help
Can someone help me with local mail routing? My setup is as follows. servers= server1.mydomain.com server2.mydomain.com server1's smtproutes file =mydomain.com:server2.mydomain.com server1's locals file = server1.mydomain.com server1's me file = server1.mydomain.com I want server1 to route all mydomain.com email to server2, but it's not working. With the above setup, everything stays on server1, nothing routed to server2. What other files do I need to look at? TIA, jean
