I use qmail myself, but was recently asked about this functionality in sendmail. It is/was my understanding that (assuming all sendmail): - all MX hosts need to have the domain listed in the access.db to allow relaying - primary MX has domain in sendmail.cw - if a secondary MX recieves a message, it attempts to deliver to primary/better MX or queues the message until it can complete delivery - if the mail needs to go to a mail server that is /not/ the primary MX, then on each MX you would create an entry in the mailertable: domain.com smtp:real-mail-server.domain.com Is this correct? -- Troy Settle Pulaski Networks 540.994.4254 They told me to think out of the box, but I tripped over it, now I own my own company. ** -----Original Message----- ** From: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG ** [mailto:owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Dirk Meyer ** Sent: Monday, January 15, 2001 1:49 AM ** To: freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG ** Subject: Re: sendmail queue ** ** ** Leif Neland wrote: ** ** > So to put it perfectly clear: Do we agree that if I'm am a MX ** for another ** > domain. ** > And I don't have "relay based on MX" ** > And I have a mailertable entry for that other domain, ** > I DO have to explicitly enable relaying to that other domain. ** ** Correct ...
