Mail rely question

[robmorin]

Hello all...

I have a 2 servers that are running Postfix version 2.3.8-2 on Debian Etch and accepts mail for a couple hundred domains, all works just fine now. One server is simply my MX, it just scans email and then delivers it to either my pop server for my virtual hosts or it relays the email to other clients that have their own pop server. My problem is, if that the clients i only scan mail to and then relay to, if they come onto my pop server(also my webserver where Omega resides) to use webmail the emails they send to their domain get delivered locally rather than go out to their own servers.... this of course would seem normal as i have entries like so...

As the control panel for these domains resides on the same server(pop & web) so any email originating on this server gets delivered locally....

In my main.cf i already have relayhost = [xx.xx.xx.154]

I figured all email would be redirected to that server, but it seems not if it is seen as local....

how can i have domain.com which is a relay only client relay to their own server

Post your main.cf config please... With this info I would bet that you have the relayed domains in the virtual_domains table, so delete it from there, postmap, reload and tell us....

Here is my main.cf

Not sure what you meant by the rest of your email if you can please give me more detail....

Thanks...

Are the relayed domains in the file /etc/postfix/ispcp/domains? Remove them (and also in /etc/ispcp/postfix/working/domains, postmap the /etc/postfix/ispcp/domains file and reload postfix...

[robmorin]

Yes they are..... so i remove them and email will not be delivered locally, will it be refused or actually sent out to their own server?

Thanks.....

Your recipe:

1. Delete the domains from the /etc/ispcp/postfix/working/domains and /etc/postfix/ispcp/domains files
2. Add them to a new file named /etc/postfix/relay_domains
3. Execute: postconf relay_domains=hash:/etc/postfix/relay_domains
4. Execute: postmap /etc/postfix/relay_domains
5. Add the domains to the files /etc/ispcp/posftix/working/transport and /etc/postfix/ispcp/transport, following this scheme (where hostname or ip is the server where you want the mails delivered):
domain.tld :[hostname or ip]
6. Execute: postmap /etc/postfix/ispcp/transport
7. Check that the valid mail accounts exist in the /etc/postfix/relay_recipients file, add theme if they aren't
8. Execute: postmap /etc/postfix/relay_recipients
9. Execute: /etc/init.d/postfix reload

And test, ALL mails should be properly delivered to the destination that you've specified. From now on, the /etc/postfix/relay_recipients file should be manually modified (remember to postmap the file and reload the config in order to "activate" any change) whenever an account is added or deleted to the relayed domains.

But if i add the domains to the transport file in ispcp, what would happen if someone uses an auto responder? is the transport file not used for domains that have auto responders enabled, thats what i thought and saw, so at some point in time a domain in that file might be listed twice , once for an autoresponder and once for a normal relay

Thanks...
