Say I have the following in /etc/staticroutes

Delivery to each domain individually is fine. A message addressed to
[email protected] and [email protected] is fine.
A message which contains any user at domain1.com and domain3.com will
fail as both domains point to the same IP address. Can anyone see an
obvious reason why these would fail?
Thanks.
#Router
static_route:
driver = manualroute
transport = remote_smtp_smart
route_data = ${lookup{$domain}lsearch{/etc/staticroutes}}
all seems good so far...
#Transport
remote_smtp_smart:
driver = smtp
port = 25
delay_after_cutoff = false
hosts = ${lookup{$domain}lsearch{/etc/staticroutes}}
hosts_override
Do you need hosts & hosts_override there? What happens if you
remove them?
Thank you for the reply, the reason that is in there is because the spec
says this about the hosts line:
"This option is ignored when the address has been routed by a router
that supplies a host list (for example, /lookuphost/), unless
/hosts_override/ is set."
I read this to mean that the hosts line in the transport will be ignored
unless hosts_override is in there - am a I wrong?
Incidentally, I thought of a couple of queries with regards to improving
the "staticroutes" setup as follows:
1) If I was to put multiple entries for a domain in the staticroutes
file, will Exim try each of them in order until one succeeds?
2) The transport specifically uses port 25. I was wondering if this
could be a default setting but over-ridden if the staticroutes file
contained a line such as:
domain.com: 1.1.1.1:26
I've only had to use an alternate port once when someone's broadband was
down. They had a backup freephone dialup but port 25 was blocked on it.
I had to write an entirely separate staticroutes2 to use an alternate
port back then. It would be nice to have an easy option though!
