Sendmail config for a secondary MX

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




Ok, this used to work when I used Solaris but for some reason it doesn't with RH9.


A friend uses my server as a secondary MX for his own domain. His cable modem has been horribly unrealible lately so his E-mail ends up coming to my server. Unfortunately my server is rejecting the E-mail with the following error:

The original message was received at Fri, 12 Sep 2003 11:49:58 -0500
from server [127.0.0.1]

   ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
<mark@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
    (reason: 553 5.3.5 system config error)

----- Transcript of session follows -----
553 5.3.5 mail.mydomain.com. config error: mail loops back to me (MX problem?)
554 5.3.5 Local configuration error



I thought I had this set up right. I have hisdomain.com set up in my /etc/mail/access like this:
hisdomain.com RELAY


Yet it still doesn't work. The MX is set up properly as his E-mail is coming to my server when he's down, it's just not being held properly by my server.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

I've tried adding a mailertable entry like so:

hisdomain.com smtp:mail.hisdomain.com

That didn't seem to make a difference.
