To anyone who might know,
I find various online references to a qmail control file:
/var/qmail/control/smtphosts
that is not generally used in all qmail installations, whereby:
"If the file
/var/qmail/control/smtphosts
exists and contains an entry for hisdomain.com, qmail will not perform a
DNS MX-lookup to figure out the mail server for hisdomain.com; it will use
the one specified there, such as:
.hisdomain.com:pop2.hisdomain.com
Otherwise, qmail will perform a DNS/MX lookup."
The reason I ask has to do with something I mentioned earlier concerning
mail client lookups of mx records returning "451--DNS temporary failure"
and stubbornly refusing to place such messages in the queue even though I
know the message will be delivered.
I'm having periodic trouble with a couple of Chinese DNS mx lookups (as
they fool around with their DNS servers over there), and if the above is
working in qmailtoaster, then that will alleviate this problem on specific
domains entirely without having to disable the CHKUSER feature that
prevents such messages from being queued.
Thanks!
Tim
This sounds like the /var/qmail/control/smtproutes file in QMT:
