heh well let me through a monkey rench into this... I'm using the cyrus-sasl and sendmail-8.11.1 for smtpauth to control relays. If i do create this field in the relay-domains /etc/mail won't the smtpauth overwride this and deny relay withought authenticating? Next question.. > > > This is not needed. sendmail will look at the mx-records, and will send to > > > the primary mailserver when it becomes available. How will the SMS know what the primary MX record is if this machine is on a sepereate network? how do i configure this? primary server---> mail, web, ftp, etc secondary--> only secondary mail server how does the secondary mail server 1. know to queue the mail and not send it to a local inbox 2. know when to send the queued mail to the primary MX 3. know the primary MX in the first place? Sorry i'm missing the connection here =\ Thanks, Ryan Masse From: Kal Torak <kaltorak@quake.com.au> Cc: <freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG> > Dirk Meyer wrote: > > > > Leif Neland schrieb:, > > > > > > 1) The easy way: > > > > configure Sendmail to accept mail for this host/domain: > > > > simply add in /etc/mail/mailertable: > > > > > > > > primary.do.main smpt:[hostname of primary mail-server] > > > > > > > This is not needed. sendmail will look at the mx-records, and will send to > > > the primary mailserver when it becomes available. > > > > only if you configure the > > FEATURE(`relay_based_on_MX|) > > or you have already condigured to be RELAY for this domain. > > > > If you add entry's in "mailertable" you don't need to permit RELAY for them. > > And you need to be aware that this opens the way for ANYONE that runs > DNS for a domain can then add you as an MX for there domain and relay > through you...
