- Almost. You need to define all possible names as LOCAL. For example, on
- my cluster of five CPU's here's a snippet of MCP SHOW:
-
- Domain-to-path mappings:
- Domain="ccvax1.ccs.csus.edu", Path=Local
- Domain="ccvax1.csus.edu", Path=Local
- Domain="ccvax1", Path=Local
- Domain="[130.86.89.1]", Path=Local
- Domain="ccvax2.ccs.csus.edu", Path=Local
- Domain="ccvax2.csus.edu", Path=Local
- Domain="ccvax2", Path=Local
- Domain="[130.86.89.2]", Path=Local
-
- I then use MX records in the Domain Name Service config file to point all
- of these machines (ccvax1, ccvax2...) to the actual machine running the
- SMTP_Server.
-
- And as was mentioned, ORDER IS IMPORTANT. These must come before the
- wildcards!
-
- Hope this helps...
