-
- If you want the mail to end up on host.domainA.com, then you need an
- MX-record pointing to host.domainA.com.
-
- So, if I've got this straight, the only machine of the four that is
- reachable from the Internet is mailrelayB.domainB.com, right?
-
- And host.domainA.com *isn't* reachable from mailrelayB.domainB.com,
- but only reachable via relayA and and relayC?
-
- Then this should work:
-
- host.domainA.com. 3005 MX 5 host.domainA.com
- host.domainA.com. 3005 MX 10 relayA.domainA.com.
- host.domainA.com. 3005 MX 15 relayC.domainA.com.
- host.domainA.com. 3005 MX 25 mailrelayB.domainB.com.
