Ok
first of all I got it wrong sorry---replace /etc/mail/access
with /etc/mail/mailertable file below.
Secondly I got interested and got mixed
success on testing---read on for discussion.
Yes that config is for your relay. I'm assuming
that mail1 and mail2 are internal mail servers
to your domain.
Also many things need to happen:
- if using the virtusertable method, make sure
you have this feature enabled in sendmail.
(feel free to ask for asistance if needed)
- in your example, mail1.domain.com and
mail2.domain.com should be the configured
to process mail for domain.com. (otherwise
it would reject the mail). If not then
at least that should be their actual host
names. Usually you
must add the domain names you want to
/etc/mail/local-host-names
Again this is sendmail method. I suggest test
on 1 email first before proceeding--be careful
with this as you might cause a mail loop when
done wrong. tail -f /var/log/maillog as you
debug just to make sure.
Actually you got me interested and i tested
routing my own mail from hagibis.madugas.org to my
other server darna.madugas.org (both are MX
fronts so they are already configured to receive mail
for my domain).
here are the configs on hagibis.madugas.org
that I tested:
method 1: (OK)
cat /etc/mail/mailertable
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
method 2: (OK)
cat /etc/mail/virtusertable
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
method 3: DID NOT WORK (recevied mail but did not relay)
cat /etc/mail/mailertable
[EMAIL PROTECTED] smtp:[darna.madugas.org]
method 4: DID NOT WORK (recevied mail but did not relay)
/etc/mail/virtusertable
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
why does some work and some did not?
because yyy is a real user on both servers!
i think it placed local mail relaying
in higher priority. there may be options to
sendmail to get around them, but I am at my
limits. Many things are possible here.
dont forget to (cd /etc/mail; make) or restart
sendmail on any change.
good luck and have fun,
jondz
