Up until just last week we've had one machine handling all of our virtual hosted web customers.. the machine handled all websites and email accounts. Now I've added a second machine which will serve a new set of virtual host customers, but I want to keep the email boxes for their domain on the old machine. The problem I'm having is getting mail sent properly from the new vhost machine to users within domains that are hosted there. For example, let's say we host www.domain.com on the new vhost machine.. if you try to send email to anyone@domain.com from that server, it tries to deliver it locally but fails because there are no mailboxes there. Instead, it should deliver the message to the mailbox on the other server. MX records are set up properly, and I am using sendmail on both machines. What can I do to force delivery for these domains onto the original server? -- Dan Roberts, http://gwis.com/~droberts Gateway to Internet Services sysadmin/ircadmin, barovia.oh.us.dal.net for Internet access in NE Ohio http://barovia.dal.net - Strahd on DALnet http://www.gwis.com
