Hi!
I've issue with secondary MX server: when primary MX is not available all
emails bounced in a couple of seconds because of sending them again and
again from that secondary MX to itself.
I suppose problem is qmail don't understand this is it's own (local) IP
and tries to deliver email to (as it thinks) another MX.
This server has many (8) network interfaces (lo, 4 network cards, 3
openvpn tun devices). First network card has about 122 IP addresses
assigned. Qmail is running on just one of these 122 IP addresses, but
it's not the first one - this IP is actually somewhere in the middle.
I'm using netqmail-1.06 with extra outgoingips patch.
The setup is like this (problem is when sending to user@target.domain.host):
# dnsmx target.domain.host
1 b.mx.target.domain.host
0 a.mx.target.domain.host
# dnsip a.mx.target.domain.host
(some other IP, not reachable right now)
# dnsip b.mx.target.domain.host
1.2.3.66
# grep TCPSERVER_HOST conf-common
TCPSERVER_HOST=1.2.3.66
# cat locals
localhost
127.0.0.1
this.secondary.mx.host
# cat me
this.secondary.mx.host
# cat outgoingips
:1.2.3.66
this.secondary.mx.host:1.2.3.66
# cat rcpthosts
localhost
127.0.0.1
this.secondary.mx.host
target.domain.host
I've found this thread
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/qmail/users/73878 - is it make sense
to try qmail-1.03-moreipme.patch (btw, it's url is not available)?
