I run a mailserver here at our place of business to handle the mail for our
local domain. One server, one domain, one satisfied IMail customer. We
recently entered into a relationship with a third-party webhosting firm to
host our actual website. So I have all of the machines in my domain here
on-site except this www machine.
We had our zone file modified so that the A record for WWW points to that
machine, and [and I understand that this is where the difficulty lies] we
also changed the A record for the domain itself to point to that machine as
well. That machine is also running IMail as it turns out, just not for us.
Here's my question: if mail destined for users in my domain hits that
machine through whatever DNS process, it gets refused. As it should, because
that machine is configured correctly, and treats my mail in accordance with
best anti-relaying security.
Besides changing that domain A record back to point to my mailserver, how
else can we fix things so that I don't lose any mail? I'd like not to add an
MX record for that machine, because I'm not trying to encourage any mail to
go to that box, but neither do I want them to refuse any.
