I'm here, just been very busy lately (and the power company has been no
help what-so-ever, in fact, they're most of my problems of late).
I seen no clean way to do this. Your problem is:
foo.org IN MX 5 mail.foo.org
you can't tell mail servers some mail for users at foo.org goes to one
box, and some goes to others. In UNIX, I'd just create the appropriate
forward files. Not sure if that's an option for GropeWise.
As for milter -- milter is just a better mechanism for a filter. Rather
than having procmail start more processes, milter does the handling as
part of the current sendmail process:
sendmail --> procmail --> mail filter
sendmail --> mailfilter
If you're running milter on the sendmail box, even if it's forwarded from
the GropeWise box, it will still run through the milter process and any
filters you have (RBLs, etc.). Doesn't matter how sendmail is invoked,
the milter process is part of sendmail and applied to all mails, incoming
and outgoing.
Ciao,
David A. Bandel
