} First of all, it appears that the default configuration works.
} With no routers other than what is in the default configuration,
} this appears to actually work just fine. However, I fear that this
} in not safe. If gate.rmcs goes down, do I have a chance of looping?
} What do I need to do to stop it?
What I think you need to do is this:-
1. Local domains is set to nothing (or domains that *really* are local).
2. directors how you like - they have no effect for normal config
3. set relaying as follows:-
relay_domains =
relay_domains_include_local_mx
no_relay_match_host_or_sender
sender_address_relay =
sender_host_accept_relay =
sender_host_reject_relay =
sender_net_accept_relay = 127.0.0.1/8
sender_net_reject_relay =
This is actually the default other than setting "relay_domains_include_loca
l_mx"
4. A normal smtp router/transport set
} With sendmail there was a mailertable file in which I would list something
} like
}
} rmcs.cranfield.ac.uk smtp:[gate.rmcs.cranfield.ac.uk]
}
} Do I need a router like this?
No - the DNS gives you that information, why replicate it.
