My courier server is a 2nd MX for a machine next to it and for half a year seemed to work OK as I noticed plenty of traffic arriving on my server destined for this "machine next door" without a problem.
Recently I started getting "relaying denied" for message attempts arriving at my server and destined for this other server but my machine is still listed as its 2nd MX. (from the manual) . You will also need to include any domain that lists . this machine as its primary MX relay. I never used to have to do anything like this for either hosts I 2nd MX for OR any of my virtual hosts that list this same server as their PRIMARY MX. I have all those vhosts listed in hosteddomains and auth'ing out of MySQL just fine. So, now I am even more confused about what actually makes virtual hosting or MX'ing work at all. I also never used to use esmtpacceptmailfor.dir but to solve some problem months ago I found adding it helped (but I did not need it at all last year and all vhosts and MX seemed to work). I think the question I need to ask is what constitutes a local or a virtually hosted domain as far as courier is concerned ? ... nuh, too vague... let's try... If I MX for another host then which config file dictates that my server can do so without giving out relaying denied messages ? If I host a virtual domain on one of my aliased IPs and also act as it's primary MX mail server then is that vhost considered a "local" host and should be listed in locals like the manual entry above seems to indicate ? Any hints as to when entries in locals, hosteddomains and emstpacceptmailfor.dir are actually required, and in what combination, for hosts with an A record pointing to the base non-aliased IP of same server (the main canonical host), for hosts with an A record for IPs aliased to this same server (vhosts), for hosts that have this server listed as their primary MX server, hosts that have this server listed as their secondary MX ? Any input much appreciated. --markc ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
