Hi,
Machine names and domain names are ficticious for simplicity. Topology
description is accurate, however.
I can't seem to figure out how to get my mail routing exactly as I want
it. I have 50 or so computers at mysite.org. We are behind a firewall
with a dedicated link to our HQ in another city. All mail generated by
computers at mysite.org are routed through my mail server
mail.mysite.org. If generated mail is not local (not to a mysite.org
address or machine.mysite.org address where machine is any machine
name), I want to route it through mailhost.hq.net. This can be done by
adding :mailhost.hq.net in smtproutes.
Here's where I have trouble:
I want mail addressed to pc1.mysite.org, pc2.mysite.org, and
pc3.mysite.org to be routed to those machines (they have qmail
installed). Mail to ANY OTHER MACHINE at mysite.org should be delivered
locally to mail.mysite.org no matter what the machine name is, even if
that machine doesn't exist. Of course, a valid user must be specified
or the mail will bounce, but that's not relevent to my question. How
can I set this up? All mail to any machine at mysite.org should be
delievered to mail.mysite.org unless it's sent to pc1.mysite.org,
pc2.mysite.org, or pc3.mysite.org, in which case mail is then routed to
those machines.
Thanks for your help.
