I'm in the midst of a problem and I can't figure out how to have qmail help me
out of it.
I now have two mail systems in deepeddy.com: highdive.deepeddy.com is
co-located somewhere with real connectivity; backstroke.deepeddy.com is my
system here at home. I've got some mailing lists on deepend, but most mail
into the domain is for me on backstroke. I set things up so that the MX
records would all point at highdive and installed .qmail and .qmail-default
files in my directory there which forward my mail to backstroke.
There's a minor annoyance in that when I send mail to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] it gets bounced via the other system. This
minor annoyance just became a major annoyance because highdive is down. (It's
a free co-location in another city.) This means no mail to deepeddy.com is
working at all since it all points at the down system. It would be real nice
if mail to me here would work.
So, this is what I tried to do:
~alias/.qmail-makeitlocal:
| qmail-inject -f "$SENDER" -- "$[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
/var/qmail/control/virtualdomains:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:makeitlocal
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:makeitlocal
and then fix the DNS to allow mail to get delivered to backstroke as well as
the now down highdive.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] does the right thing as do things like
[EMAIL PROTECTED], but it's annoying to have to create so many of these,
and it can't possibly catch dynamically generated addresses (like this one has
on it....you'd better either change the host to backstroke.deepeddy.com or
change the user to cwg-qmail if you expect me to see your reply).
So, how can I get my mail unwedged between now and when I get the highdive
fixed?
