I am sure that I am going to get yelled at, but I have been struggling with
this for weeks and I am unable to get this resolved. The following is what I
am trying to accomplish.
I have 3 machines doing the following functions:
MTA01: SMTP
MTA-GTWY: Virus Scanning Gateway using Exiscan
POP3: POP3 and Location to where all mail is to be sent for local delivery
I have basically two problems in this scenerio. First I am not able to make
MTA01 unconditionally send all mail that it accepts to MTA-GTWY for delivery.
I have went through the manuals, and I am sure that I am overlooking this
section to figure this out on my own, but I am not really finding it. I have
wondered if this is classified as a director or not.
Secondly, this is really not a problem, I am just basically not sure if this
is the proper way to make this work. I want everything for the
valuelinx.net to be delivered to POP3. I am sure that this is done primarily
in DNS, but I wanted to make sure there was not anything else that I need to
do to ensure this within exim itself. The following is the dig information
on our domain:
;; QUESTION SECTION:
;valuelinx.net. IN MX
;; ANSWER SECTION:
valuelinx.net. 86400 IN MX 10 smtp.valuelinx.net.
;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
valuelinx.net. 86400 IN NS ns3.valuelinx.net.
valuelinx.net. 86400 IN NS ns1.valuelinx.net.
valuelinx.net. 86400 IN NS ns2.valuelinx.net.
;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:
smtp.valuelinx.net. 86400 IN A 208.189.209.6
ns1.valuelinx.net. 86400 IN A 208.189.209.2
ns2.valuelinx.net. 86400 IN A 208.189.209.3
ns3.valuelinx.net. 86400 IN A 208.189.209.4
I think this is correct, but I am just double checking. Presently I have a
single machine running sendmail and amavis. The server is totally getting
hammered and I am trying to implement this as a solution with the load
staggered across several machines so I will not have to deal with this for
quite a while. Thank you for bearing with me. I am very new to exim and
from what I have seen so far it is an exeptional product, I am just green.
Thanks again.
