I have two mail-servers: A and B.
The server A is the official MX-handler for domain example.com
and is configured to forward the entire @example.com
to someuser@yahoo.com
. This part works fine.
However, some times server B also gets e-mail intended for foo@example.com
and I'd like it to deliver such mail directly to someuser@yahoo.com
.
To this end I added the same record to /etc/mail/virtusertable
on server B as I have on server A:
@example.com someuser@yahoo.com
I rebuilt the databases and restarted sendmail on B, but I still see it hand off the e-mail for example.com
to A -- instead of delivering it directly to Yahoo.
It is as if MX-record trumps over the virtusertable
-- how do I reverse this and save one hop?
