[courier-users] Backup MX, alias
Hi, I have set up a server as Backup MX and it is working though not perfectly. The DNS definition for MX servers is like this: mail.domain1 10 mx mail02.domain1 20 mx In courier I defined: hosteddomains: -- mail02.domain1 esmtpacceptmailfor: -- mail02.domain1 As suggested previously in this list I'd like to set up alias for all existing mail accounts to avoid mail for invalid accounts to be accepted (and later bounced by the primary mail server). I tried it with: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - user1-domain1 but this didn't work. So, what is the correct way to set these aliases up? Any help is appreciated!

I tried it with: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - user1-domain1 but this didn't work. That doesn't look like a line from an alias file. To prevent looping, you'll want to use the hostname of your primary MX, rather than the domain name in the alias destination. Naturally, the primary MX will need to consider its hostname a local domain. If your primary mx is mx1.domain1, then the alias should look like: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [EMAIL PROTECTED] There should be no MX records in DNS for mx1.domain1. - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
