Currently I have 1 mailbox server with 10 domains and 3 backup servers, each on a different ISP.
So if I have the following mailbox domains on one server domain1.com domain2.com domain3.com and currently backup mailservers backup1.mydomain.com backup2.mydomain.com backup3.mydomain.com
How does using ldap2alias change my backup mail structure?
I talked with IMail support today and they told me that Imail 8.x resolves domain names first by local domains (Including alias), then the hosts file, then DNS. In short they told me that a domain with the mailbox domain as an alias will never forward messages to the domain. I was told that the hosts file was a better option for backup mail servers.
So does anyone have this working in a similar setup? and can you explain how you have both IMail and DNS setup to make it work.
Also when the mailbox domain is down how do I prevent the backup mail servers from passing the message between each other. I want to make sure if the mailbox domain is down the backup mail server holds the message, not forward it to another backup mail server, to another , to another.....
Also if backup1.mydomain.com provides backup for a mailserver I can not get aliases for is better to use the host file to forward mail or add a virtual domain with the nobody alias?
Thanks in advance. _____________________________________________________________________ Scott Fosseen - Systems Engineer -Prairie Lakes AEA http://fosseen.us/scott _____________________________________________________________________ It's not the amendment with which I disagree.
