I apologize for asking what is probably a stupid question. I read the
manual and browsed through the mailing list archives for an answer but
didn't see one.
My situation is what I would imagine is a common one. We have a single
machine that mail can be delivered to from the outside (genesis). We
also host "intranet"-like services for another organization. Their mail
is handled by host aristotle. So the MX record for their domain points to
host genesis, which is running exim. Mail should be delivered to this
machine, which should forward all mail for that domain to host B. So my
config file includes:
# Relay settings
relay_domains = "nyuhs.net:lhh.net:nydh.net:nyudh.net:hjd.net"
relay_domains_include_local_mx = true
and
# route mail for NYU domains to aristotle
forwardaristotle:
driver = domainlist,
transport = remote_smtp;
search_type = lsearch,
route_file = /usr/exim/aristroutes
/usr/exim/aristroutes reads:
nyuhs.net:lhh.net:nydh.net:nyumc.net:hjd.net aristotle byname
So I figured that would do it. Mail to any of those domains should be
routed by genesis to aristotle. but what I get is:
1997-11-25 19:00:25 0xaUtx-0001eF-00 lowest MX record for lhh.net
points to local host
when I try and send mail to a user at the domain. Obviously, exim is
making a correct observation, but it's not doing what I want it to. The
manual describes using domainlist on a mail hub in a firewalled situation,
so I'm sure I'm just doing something wrong.
Thanks in Advance,
Christopher Petro
