I'm hoping this is off-topic...
I'm using fastforward to try to handle virtual domains, and
it seems to be working from everywhere except from my ISP...
It turns out that my ISP has sendmail configured to rewrite
the "To" header using the canonical domain name, i.e. if the
mail is sent to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and there's
an MX record like this
virtual.my.domain IN MX 10 canonical.my.domain
then the mail is rewritten to be addressed to
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" instead of to
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]".
Questions:
1. Is this broken behavior? (Please tell me "yes"!) If so,
then this isn't really on-topic for the qmail list...
2. If this is not broken behavior, how can I have a chance in
heck of setting up qmail to handle virtual domain e-mail that
isn't addressed to the virtual domain once it reaches qmail???
I can think of various solutions, but none are nearly as clean
(given 6,000+ virtual domains and 16,000+ virtual users) as
handling it in /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains and
/etc/aliases.cdb.
My configuration includes:
/var/qmail/control/locals:
localhost
webdev.salu.com
web.dev.salu.com
mail.dev.salu.com
www.dev.salu.com
dev.salu.com
/var/qmail/control/rcpthosts:
localhost
webdev.salu.com
web.dev.salu.com
mail.dev.salu.com
www.dev.salu.com
dev.salu.com
dunkdunk.dev.salu.com
/var/qmail/control/virtualdomains:
dunkdunk.dev.salu.com:alias
/var/qmail/alias/.qmail-default:
| fastforward -d /etc/aliases.cdb
&[EMAIL PROTECTED]
(The latter line is for testing purposes...)
/etc/aliases:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:billing_dunkdunk
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:advice_dunkdunk
dunkdunk.dev.salu.com has an MX record pointing to web.dev.salu.com.
Also an A record pointing to the same IP as web.dev.salu.com (formerly
a CNAME record pointing to web.dev.salu.com, temporarily changed to
an A record to see whether it made any difference).
If I send mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" from a normal mail
server, all works as expected:
