Hi, does courier override dns mx entries with it�s local settings? I have a situation, where this happens. I would like to change this.
Server.A is a machine that is configured as a Fallback Mail Server. If the main.mailserver.dom is offline, dns A records change and Server.A will be main.mailserver.tld itself. (Yes, multiple mx records should be sufficient, but we use this fallback for webservers anyway so using it for mailservers was a site-effect...) So Server.A has always a fully functional courier configuration for several domains, including example.com, waiting in "hot standby mode" for it�s combat order. Now, just for some practical reasons and to not let the machine feel so lonely, I am using this Server.A as the mailserver for some private addresses. So I discovered, if I want to send mail to a friendsdomain.tld, that is configured in esmptacceptmailfor and hosteddomains on the same machine, it will never leave Server.A. Note: "dig mx friendsdomain.tld" in this case will NOT point with any hostname or ip to Server.A ! So, if I understand things right, courier seems to override infos from mx record with the settings in /etc/courier. Is this a feature? Can this be changed? What did i wrong? If you want to discuss [dis-] advantages of the dns a-record-changing fallback strategy, this should be a seperate thread but nevertheless it would be very interesting to hear your opinions. Thanks for your attention! Have a nice day, Peter ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.
