Um... no. Just their corresponding physical machine names and 'localhost'. >Addresses are validated if the domain is listed in hosteddomains or >locals, otherwise the system will disregard your user database.

I guess that's why the filters were never hitting on the secondary; with the domains appearing only in esmtpacceptmailfor (and esmtproutes), it was accepting all such mail indiscriminately. >No. I run a lot of Courier servers which only filter mail and then pass >the message on to a system we don't want exposed to the internet >(Exchange). Alias normally look something like: > >[email protected]: [email protected] Hmm. So this would require not only building a plain-text alias file from my mysql database (feasible), but also setting up a subdomain on every hosted domain in order to facilitate such forwarding (unreasonable). Is there not a more straightforward way to achieve this? >No, it won't. I don't know if you can configure Courier::Filter not to >filter messages from your backup MX.

Even if it can't be done, double-filtering messages is the least of my concerns at this stage. thanks, -ben -- Ben Kennedy (chief magician) zygoat creative technical services http://www.zygoat.ca ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
