Topic: alias domain

0.8.0 - mySQL - Centos 6.2
Hello,
How should I go about accepting mail for a given domain and relaying its backend (which is not on the iRedMail server).
Thanks for your help!

Re: alias domain

1) Add this domain with iRedAdmin
2) In MySQL database, 'vmail', set 'domain.backupmx=1' for this domain.
3) Set 'domain.transport' to proper value so that iRedMail will relay all emails for this domain to another server.

Thank you for your reply! When you say: Set domain.transport to proper value, this implies typing in a servername, is there a way to simply reply on DNS resolution to find the correct backend? Thanks again for your help.

By the way, I've added FQDN of backend server in domain.transport and the mail stays in queue with error: 'mail transport unavailable' . Can you advise? Thanks yet again.

Re: alias domain

I googled on Postfix transport and read about using 'smtp' as a value to relay. After replacing FQDN by 'smtp' my mail arrived. Thanks again anyhow :-)
