take the non-local domains out of the locals file.

Problem is, the mail is always delivered for that host, ie: if I send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and the MX is mx.host.com, the mail will be delivered to host.com, regardless of the MX entry.

Re: MX routing question
oops, sorry about that. The domain is integrationsoft.com set type=mx integrationsoft.com Server: localhost Address: 127.0.0.1 integrationsoft.com preference = 30, mail exchanger = mr3.integrationsoft.com integrationsoft.com preference = 10, mail exchanger = mr1.integrationsoft.com integrationsoft.com preference = 20, mail exchanger = mr2.integrationsoft.com integrationsoft.com nameserver = ns1.integrationsoft.com integrationsoft.com nameserver = ns2.integrationsoft.com mr3.integrationsoft.com internet address = 64.75.21.89 mr1.integrationsoft.com internet address = 64.75.21.88 mr2.integrationsoft.com internet address = 64.75.21.87 ns1.integrationsoft.com internet address = 64.75.21.87 ns2.integrationsoft.com internet address = 64.75.21.88 Shouldn't delivery be to mr1.integrationsoft.com? Which is 64.75.21.88, but the mail delivery is always to: 64.75.21.87. Which is the host itself Thanks in advance, Oliver --- Chris Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Mon, Nov 13, 2000 at 05:50:26PM -0800, Oliver Menzel wrote: I'm trying to make all mail incoming for a bunch of hosts to be delivered to this one mail host.

OOPS, what a trivial error.
