RE: [cobalt-users] Backup MX Server and Forwarding

Hi,

Thanks for the link Al-Juhani,

I read through it and it seems quite logical, so I have done the following. As this server
was the original server that was accepting emails for the domain in question, I created
all of the A Records and MX records for the new mail server and set its priority to the
highest, then set the original MX records to the lowest priority.

I then went into the RaQ3's GUI and changed the Accept Email to unchecked.

The only bit within the article that you linked for me that I could not find was the
following bit:

SNIP
Your fallback mailserver must *not* receive mail (ie: deliver locally) for
domain.com. Your mail would get stuck at this mailserver. It must only
allow relaying for this domain, which in sendmail is done by adding
"domain.com" (and again any hosts in that domain that have an MX record) to
"/etc/mail/relay-domains". This is class r.
SNIP

I have tried a locate for the file relay-domains, but could not find one, so either it is
named differently in my raq3, or one does not exist for this purpose at present.

Any ideas on this one please. Also, will my current set up of not having the Accept Email
for the domain checked do the trick with this.

Thanks as always.
