- The node referenced as an alternate gateway needs to be in the LOCAL host table.
- Try adding it and see if things start to work.
-
- I'm doing something similar but I want ALL mail to go through a central mail
- clearinghouse. I use an MX record to accomplish this. The record looks like:
-
- Local MX database
-
- Destination Preference Gateway
-
- 0.0.0.0 100 rowe
-
- rowe, of course, is my mail handling system. rowe is in the local host table.
- the 0.0.0.0 destination is sort of a wildcard that matches all destinations.
-
- Hope that helps.
