There is no such command in Postfix. Postfix uses "best way". Deliver via (local|virtural|etc.) if local. Relay via relayhost or direct if not. > > Secondly, is there a way to specify multiple hosts in a > transport_map?

However, local DNS entries can be used to provide multiple routes. The first transport map entry always wins. No further entries are checked once a match is found. Brian
