This is more of a rhetorical question than anything, but would it not be simple to remove the requirement for etc/hosteddomains (and etc/locals and etc/acceptmailfor) and reject messages based upon whether the authdaemon lookup returns an account or not?  I can see the need for a these files where you have additional domains (perhaps as a backup MX), but also it’s a pain to have to update these files across multiple MX’s and also run sbin/makeacceptmailfor on each server (since only I have access to the MX’s and it’s my support staff who make the updates to hosteddomains).

 

Somewhat related to this would be that I’d like to symlink the esmtpacceptmailfor.dat and the aforementioned config files to a copy on an NFS share.  Is this going to break if the server they’re created on is UltraSPARC and the MX’s are Intel?  Is simply having the same version of BDB installed sufficient to make this work?

 

Thanks.
