mail question
I can't seem to figure this one out.
What can i do to get the mail system on one machine to send a mail to the
mail server?
ok, i know its worded weird so i'll explain whats going on
i have 2 main servers at this isp, 1 does mail and secondary Domain name
serving, the other does web, primary domain, ftp and all that other stuff.
99% of the user accounts exist on *both* systems.
the problem comes when i mail to some of the virtual domains. but it
doesnt happen on all of them. what happens is say i mail
user@somedomain.com but that same user exists on the main machine(primary
dns) but does NOT host mail for somedomain.com, i see the mail log using
the local MTA(procmail?) trying to deliver the mail to user@somedomain.com
and returns user unknown. when i try the same on my mail server, it works
fine. and on my main machine some domains *do* work(do not return user
unknown, mail is delievered) ..its really confusing why this is going on.
any suggestions on configuration? i want to keep mail systems between the
2 machines seperate, i know it can work since it does work on some domains
but not on others, all have identical configuration in the DNS as far as i
can tell.
example:
Jan 7 13:44:45 galactica sendmail[8094]: NAA08094: to=user@domain.com,
delay=00:00:00, mailer=local, stat=User unknown
Jan 7 13:44:45 galactica
sendmail[8100]: NAA08097: to=aphro@aphroland.org, ctladdr=root (0/0),
delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=local, stat=Sent
the MX records for both are identical (mail.firetrail.com) both use the
same primary and secondary DNS ..(yes user@domain.com replaced what the
real user's email addy is) it has to be somewhere in the mail config on
the local machine. mail works fine to that domain from any other machine
except the primary DNS.
ideas ??
