Topic: MX record problems

[Chris Glanzer]

I have currently been using e-smith for several months and I have decided it is time to make it operate elegantly.  

Here is our network topology:
Our main location uses our domain name for emails in the following manner - user@domain.com.  This has worked great for the past 8 years.  Recently we added a new location 50 miles away.  Its naming convention is - user@abc.domain.com.  

Here is the problem.
A user sending mail from domain.com can send mail anywhere without problems.  However, a user  at abc.domain.com can only send mail to those locally without problems.  If user@abc.domain.com attempts to send a message to user@domain.com - it ends up being delievered to root@abc.domain.com since it feels like the user does not exist.  

Question
Is there anyway to edit the record?  I have tried to no avale.  If anyone has any thoughts or is tired of this rambling message, please let me know.

Thanks
Chris Glanzer

I have tried various different MX records in both my local.named and db.domain.xxx files.  This yielded nothing.  Any ideas out there?  I am willing to try anything
