I know this is an old topic but I have been holding onto the emails about it until I came to set it up myself.
I would like to set up a secondary Xmail server that forwards all email to the primary Xmail server. I don't want to keep setting up domains in the 'custdomains' folder each time we add a new domain, but there are a few entries in 'custdomains' for customers who have us do secondary MX for them or domain redirection for them. Can I just specify the primary Xmail server as the default place to send all email to unless there is a 'custdomains' entry? I was thinking maybe entering the primary Xmail server as the 'DefaultSMTPGateways' option in server.tab but then the few domains I want relayed to other servers with files in 'custdomains' would try to send through the primary Xmail server, right? Anyone know how I can get this working like I have described? Thanks, Alex -- -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of K.

The .tab file contains only one line: "smtprelay" <tab> "primary-server" I believe this will try to relay the mail to the primary server, every 5 mins or so, for the next 12 hours or so. The primary server is also set to allow relay from the secondaries (only). Regards, Wolfy At 03:34 AM 16/12/2004, you wrote: >I ran into this a while back but forgot where I got the information.
