I can't seem to figure this one out. What can i do to get the mail system on one machine to send a mail to the mail server?
ok, i know its worded weird so i'll explain whats going on i have 2 main servers at this isp, 1 does mail and secondary Domain name serving, the other does web, primary domain, ftp and all that other stuff. 99% of the user accounts exist on *both* systems. the problem comes when i mail to some of the virtual domains. but it doesnt happen on all of them. what happens is say i mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] but that same user exists on the main machine(primary dns) but does NOT host mail for somedomain.com, i see the mail log using the local MTA(procmail?) trying to deliver the mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and returns user unknown. when i try the same on my mail server, it works fine. and on my main machine some domains *do* work(do not return user unknown, mail is delievered) ..its really confusing why this is going on. any suggestions on configuration? i want to keep mail systems between the 2 machines seperate, i know it can work since it does work on some domains but not on others, all have identical configuration in the DNS as far as i can tell. example: Jan 7 13:44:45 galactica sendmail[8094]: NAA08094: [EMAIL PROTECTED], delay=00:00:00, mailer=local, stat=User unknown Jan 7 13:44:45 galactica sendmail[8100]: NAA08097: [EMAIL PROTECTED], ctladdr=root (0/0), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=local, stat=Sent the MX records for both are identical (mail.firetrail.com) both use the same primary and secondary DNS ..(yes [EMAIL PROTECTED] replaced what the real user's email addy is) it has to be somewhere in the mail config on the local machine. mail works fine to that domain from any other machine except the primary DNS. ideas ?? nate ----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Vice President Network Operations http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336 http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By: http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMP http://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- 1:38pm up 141 days, 1:36, 3 users, load average: 1.84, 1.84, 1.74
