RE: [vchkpw] smtproute
Another option as well, depending on what you're doing, is to setup serialmail. It's a little daunting if you're not familiar with it but I have been using it for years and it works great for just this kind of thing. We act as a backup MX record for many of our clients and we use serialmail to cache mail for them when their server stops answering. If it's something you are interested in please email me privately and I would be more than happy to give you my scripts setting it up; not because they're private but I just don't feel that the vpopmail list really cares about serialmail and autoturn. -Clayton -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 25, 2006 12:04 PM To: vchkpw@inter7.com Subject: Re: [vchkpw] smtproute Thanks Tom.

Domain xxx.com is in daily use. yyy.com is only there for fallback if the real yyy.com mailserver dies. My problem is that if a user from xxx.com sends a mail to a user at yyy.com it gets delievered locally, it never goes out to the real yyy.com mailserver. I tried to set smtproutes but discovered that it won't work because local-delivery happens before smtproutes is used. How can I send mails to the REAL yyy.com-Mailserver. Is there a way to disable the yyy.com-Domain temporarily, or a .qmail-trick I haven't found so far? Hi, yyy.com shouldn't be a virtual domain on the server. It should just have entries in [more]rcpthosts and smtproutes. You may not even need smtproutes if yyy.com's lowest MX is set to the real server. Regards, Rick

Just remove yyy.com from the virtual domains file? And add it back if I need to use it?
