Hi group, So I had to create a backup MX server to handle some maintenance downtime of our primary mail server, the catch being that the emergency mail account needed to be monitored while the other mail was being spooled. So what I did was add my domain to esmtpacceptmailfor and hosteddomains and created a catchall user account "[email protected]" with a .courier-default rule that looked like this:
||echo "[email protected]" This rewrites the delivery address of incoming mail to the hostname of my primary machine. The lower priority MX record points to the backup machine obviously. Then I set an explicit delivery route for primary.example.com in esmtproutes to prevent looking up MX and getting a loop like so: primary.example.com [192.168.1.1] To deliver the emergency mail to a local account on the backup machine I made another dot courier file, .courier-emergency with a local account in it. My question is, after reading more carefully it shouldn't actually work (it does though.) Is courier rewriting the address to something like "[email protected]" in order to match? How can I make a dot courier file to match a name that includes a hyphen? For example, "[email protected]" is matched by .courier-nagios but not by .courier-nagios-emergency which is fine except that "[email protected]" may be required to be treated differently. Am I approaching this wrong? Is there something I'm missing about the dot courier syntax?
