I have a dialup qmail server that is a higher MX preference than my
permanently connected qmail server. I am using a dynip.com dynamic DNS
name for the dialup.
My problem is that this morning, it seems that the dynip.com name server
was down. The result of this is that the permanently connected qmail
server bounced all messages destined for the dialup machine with the
message:
Aug 24 07:42:55 www qmail: 935476975.745655 delivery 2136: failure:
Sorry._Altho
ugh_I'm_listed_as_a_best-preference_MX_or_A_for_that_host,/it_isn't_in_my_contro
l/locals_file,_so_I_don't_treat_it_as_local._(#5.4.6)/
Is there a way to stop qmail from bouncing these messages, so that it
retries later. I presume qmail ignores the highest MX preference if it
cannot get an ip address for the name ??????
Any help much appreciated,
Thanks, ..Chris.
