Hi all!
I have recently set up a bit of an ad-hoc backup system for a client's server.
The best way to explain what I've done is to do it in sections.
DNS Records for my client's domain:
youdontneedtoknow.com.au. MX IN 3600 mail.youdontneedtoknow.com.au.
[Preference = 10]
youdontneedtoknow.com.au. MX IN 3600 mail.blits.com.au. [Preference =
5000]
His server:
is set up just as any Joe Blog would have their server set up
My server:
has youdontneedtoknow.com.au entered as a domain name and a single user under
it. This user has an alias of *, is set to store messages and then forward
them on to a third party email address.
The idea? If his server goes down, mine catches the mail until it comes back
online. We can sort the mess out later :-)
The problem? I like my client, and I want to send him emails. But every time
I do, they end up in the third party email account. Obviously this is because
I'm using my server as an SMTP server and it's seeing the address internally
and not feeling the need to look any further.
How can I solve this without changing my outgoing server every time I want to
send him mail?
Thankyou in advance!!!
Liam
