dudes, i set some domain names up such that host.aaa.com points to host.dyn.bbb.com (CNAME). furthermore, host.dyn.bbb.com's MX is set to mail.bbb.com.
on mail.bbb.com, there is a postfix running with an entry in the virtual map for host.aaa.com to point to a local user. mail.bbb.com allows relaying to its subnet. now something weird happens - i have two other machines, one in the same subnet, and one across the ocean. the former is running postfix, the latter qmail. if i send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] from overseas (qmail), it arrives perfectly fine at mail.bbb.com, destined for the user. if i send to [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the same subnet (postfix), i get a bounce saying that mail to host.dyn.bbb.com bounces back to itself. in the logs, postfix on mail.bbb.com announces a mail arrival to host.aaa.com if sent from overseas (qmail), but a mail arrival to host.dyn.bbb.com if sent from the same subnet (postfix). right now, the only way to fix this is to have an entry for both, host.aaa.com and host.dyn.bbb.com in the virtual map, which is a pain - what's the deal here? any clues? martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:" [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- always remember you're unique, just like everyone else.
