First time I've used a newsgroup - not too sure of etiquette apologies
in advance
I am transferring in dns to our dns/mailserver from our ISP.
Over the next few weeks I shall be transferring in the mail accounts
as well - but in the mean time I am pointing the MX record to remote
mail exchangers - in fact some mail accounts will remain on
remote hosts of our clients' choosing.
When I try and send mail from a local user [EMAIL PROTECTED] to
[EMAIL PROTECTED], qmail seems to insist on trying to send things
locally
even if DNS has a remote MX record.
That's fine for the mail accounts that we have built locally - but not
much good for the remainder.
There is no entry in /var/qmail/control/locals and I have
checked/removed entries
in /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains and passwd files.
What is it that is telling send-mail to ignore DNS and try locally?
If I remove dns entries completely - all is well - but that's not an
option if we have to host dns but not mail!
Thanks anyone/everyone
