Hi All,

Apologize for the lengthy mail,  I'm trying to have this server receive mail
for many domains, mark it with Spamassassin, Qmail-Scanner then forward onto
a secondary server.  I've setup a FreeBSD server using Qmail, Spamassassin,
qmail-scanner, smtp-auth, qmailqueue.patch, vpopmail, qmailadmin etc...
Everything works fine if the domain is hosted locally on the server.  When I
try to send mail to this server, have it filter, mark it with spamassassin
and then forward onto the seconardy server the problems begin.  I thought I
had it working, but a day or so later I started getting the error, no
mailbox here on this server.

Here is what I did.  I have an A record relay.domainA.com points to the IP
address of the Front-End server.  The MX record uses relay.domainA.com
priority is set to 5,  if I send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]  I get no mailbox
here on this server.  On the Front-End server server running Qmail, I put an
entry domainA.com and [EMAIL PROTECTED] in the /var/qmail/control/locals and
/var/qmail/control/rcpthosts file.

I also setup an /var/qmail/control/smtproutes to map domainA.com to point to
the secondary server DNS name.  The secondary server is where a user client
settings point to check mail.  the A record mail.domainA.com points to this
secondary server.   What puzzles me is this worked for a day or so then
started erroring.  I've not defined any of these domains locally in VPOPMAIL
that are being forwarded to the secondary server.   Am I missing something
obvious?  I was so excited it was working the first night, I wrote an
reference article for me to use for future use
(http://bgeek.com/serverconfig/frontend.php).  I have the feeling something
easy I'm missing but not sure where to start troubleshooting something like
this.
