The reason I say this is because that machine was restarted this morning and we ran another probe from ordb.org and they keep trying but it seems that their messages are not getting relayed through now. Hopefully this has stopped the open relay on lists.3-rivers.com.I have another concern that is related to this change though. Was the fact that I had lists in mail's "client Host" list the reason it was able to do backup for mail? Do I need to do anything special to have lists continue to do backup for mail?if you don't relay outbound mail through it, and you don't need it to relay anything other than incoming messages bound for your primary server, then it probably doesn't need to have any hosts in the client hosts list. -- Christopher Bort | [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Thanks for your input. As I stated previously, in another message, the backup server lists.3-rivers.com (lists) is also our list server machine and does send mail from Macjordomo and does need to be able to receive outside email from the subscribers to those lists and the list owners. I forgot to mention that in addition it also sends emails to my phone from Whistle Blower if our primary mail server is down.
I still wonder if there is anything special I need to put in either SIMS settings, like in the router, to allow the backup to continue to do backup server for the primary machine. Can someone answer this for me?
thanks,
