Subject: RE: [Exim] Yet another stupid question from me
I would add the domains to the relay_to_domains
but as indicated, i have 2000+ domains to provide the spool for.
that would make managing the relay_to_domains impossible.

Is there not a way to specify a domain list in , say,
/usr/exim/virtualusertable ????

Regards,

Tom

or simply add your domain to relay_to_domains ( exim 4.10). on the second
server and avoid the pitfall below.

I assume that using the above feature would allow me to simply get free
backup mx fomr this server by simply configuring my dns to point to it as
mx with a lower preference.
