Ah, I see! Putting something in "Locally-hosted domains" in webadmin puts it in _both_ esmtpacceptmailfor.dir and hosteddomains.
If I want to use the box as a backup relay I need to _manually_ put the affected DN in a file in esmtpacceptmailfor.dir and _not_ in hosteddomains. If I do this, then everything works as expected. Apparently one can't use webadmin for this task. On Mon, 2009-02-02 at 18:27 -0600, Lindsay Haisley wrote: > On Mon, 2009-02-02 at 17:42 -0600, Lindsay Haisley wrote: > > 1.
