- If your systems share the same mail database, you only need one delivery agent.
- If your systems *don't* share the same mail database, you can still get away
- with only one agent, with proper use of rewrite rules (but it's lot more
- complicated).
-
- Why are you running SMTP-over-DECnet? You don't need that for delivery between
- the 2 VAXen.
-
- Your configuration should look like:
-
- DYMA Base MX software, NETLIB, SMTP (UCX 1.3), Documentation
- Network node name = dymaxion.ns.ca
- All MX processes run on DYMA
-
- DYME Runs the MX startup script (which doesn't start any processes)
-
- If you want users on the 2 systems to have distinct addresses (dyma.dymaxion..
- and dyme.dymaxion...) then you'll have some work to do with logical names and
- rewrite rules. But I wouldn't recommend it (that's what we're doing here--our
- systems do not share the mail database).
