RE: [cobalt-users] [raq3i] How to NOT accept email for a domain?

[Mark Spieth <mspieth@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Several issues here....

1. A catchall will should forward all email to a particular user. However
this may not be what you want.  The problem is that what you need to do is
OUTSIDE of the GUI interface!! Therefore If you do this and stop accepting
email all together you have done so at your own risk!!  Now having said
that...

1. /etc/sendmail.cw If a domain is listed here then we accept mail for it.
Remove the domain name that you do not wish to accept mail for from this
list. 

Assuming that the DNS MX records are no longer pointed to your raq for mail
delivery you are all set, restart sendmail /etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail stop
then /etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail start. 

If NOT you can setup in the mailertable to forward all email for the domain
in question to another machine, Try modifing sendmail.cw first.....

Thanks

try creating a user with a alias @mail.domain.com that should work.

One of my customers decided to handle their email in-house.

So I removed the 'accept email from domain' in the GUI and
deleted the users, deleted that IP and domain name from the email
parameters relay and aliases, then set up an A record for
mail.domain.com pointing to their own mail server's IP, then
pointed the MX records at mail.domain.com. Then restarted all the
services.

This seems to work fine ... EXCEPT for mail sent directly
through/from the RAQ, which it seems is determined to still
deliver it to itself, then bounce it because the user doesn't
exist.

So the question is: How do I stop the RAQ from attempting to
deliver this mail to itself, and just forward it to the correct
IP as specified in the DNS?
