Hello,<br />
<br />
Any ideas?<br />
<br />
Regards,

<div>
I am trying to understand<br />
<br />
you want mycompany.net &amp;&nbsp;mycompany.com email traffic to arrive to your internet exposed server, but that server to forward traffic for mycompany.com to an internal server?<br />
<br />

</div>


<div>
qmail effectively is an MTA, Mail Transfer Agent.<br />
There is a MDA (mail delivery agent included) to make it usable.<br />
(The MDA delivers in maildirs).<br />
<br />
So technicaly you need to make sure the storage where all data is saved<br />
(the maildirs need to be in a secure shared storage).<br />
<br />
Maildirs do allow for this, so be sure you have some mirrorred storage that is accessible to both sites.<br />
QMAIL (or any other mail) is not suitable for supplying mirror services.<br />
The SMTP protocol should take care of partial deliveries and retry it later or to another MTA for your domain.<br />
<br />
DNS can help you to expose multiple SMTP access points with relative priorities.<br />
(MX records).

<div>
Can you close the question and issue the points?

Hello,<br />
<br />
I would like to configure Qmail 1.03 to forward mail traffic of the same domain to another server where I have duplicated all the e-mail addresses.<br />
<br />
In the file /etc/qmail/control/smtprou<wbr />tes, I have another server of a diferrent mail domain, but I am not sure if by setting a new line of routing will send all trafiic to the other server and will not store the mail in the server<br />
<br />
For example in my mail server I have the following:<br />
GNU nano 2.0.2 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;File: smtproutes &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <br />
mycompany.net: 10.10.10.1<br />
<br />
But changing it to <br />
GNU nano 2.0.2 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;File: smtproutes &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <br />
mycompany.net: 10.10.10.1<br />
mycompany.com:10.10.10.2<br />
<br />
Will affect the local delivery for server wihich is the same domain where I am routing the e-mail (mycompany.com)<br />
<br />
Comments or suggestions are welcome.<br />
<br />
Regards,<br />
<br />

STMPROUTE Qmail same domain

Within Internet message handling services (MHS), a message transfer agent or mail transfer agent (MTA) or mail relay is software that transfers electronic mail messages from one computer to another using a client–server application architecture. A MTA implements both the client (sending) and server (receiving) portions of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). The terms mail server, mail exchanger, and MX host may also refer to a computer performing the MTA function. The Domain Name System (DNS) associates a mail server to a domain with mail exchanger (MX) resource records containing the domain name of a host providing MTA services.

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.
