Lorens, Thank you for the detailed reply. I'm interested to hear that some of the DNS smarts reside in postfix itself. As I had no luck with multiple records in the /etc/hosts file, I've gone to the DNS option and setup multiple A records for exchange.xxx.local, using that name in the Postfix's

I've been testing Postifx for some solutions... One attempt was to make 2 entries with the same host name in /etc/hosts e.g 10.222.100.1 exchange.mydomain.local exchange 10.333.200.2 exchange.mydomain.local exchange Then changed the transport map to mydomain.local smtp:[exchange.mydomain.

Thanks for the advice. I don't use relay maps for the domain as the Internet doamin is shared betweent he MS Exchange server and the Postfix server. i.e I use MySql address lookups onthe Postfix server so it's easy to create addresses to forward email to different or multiple accounts. e.g sa...

I'm using Postfix\Amavis\Spamassassin\Clamav to scan incoming emails for virus and spam and forward to our internal MS Exchange email system. Postifx shares the Internet domain with MS Exchange,  each forwarding messages to unknown  accounts to the other system. MS Exchange uses clustering to du
