MX Backup on SME 7pre1
« on: February 05, 2006, 06:39:10 PM »
Hello,

Did anyone succeed in configurating mx backup on sme7.

Previously, on sme6, that worked with adding relay domains in files /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts.

With qpstmpd integrated in sme7, this method doesn't work anymore. Any idea will be welcome to allow my sme7 accept mail from another domain as a backup mail server!

 :lol:

I also have this problem and would like to ask the question again, has anyone figured this out or is it a simple configuration error on my part?

I have used the MX backup contrib from the Schirrms instructions but cannot get it to work. I have two domains that I wish to use the server as an MX backup for. For one of the Domains it works perfectly, for the other not at all!!

Neither of the domains are hosted or appear as a virtual domain on the backup server and don't need to I think when the server is setup as an MX backup.

Both of the domains I wish to receive for appear in the rcpthosts file on the backup server correctly. Both of my Mailservers also appear as the top two MX server in my DNS records.

I am using SME 7 RC2 by the way.

Any obvious ideas anybody?
