Greeting,
I've looked throught the handbook for this but cannot find the answer.
I have two FreeBSD 4.8 machines where 1 is the mailserver for some-domain
and the some-domain is in the sendmail.cw file. DNS MX records for some-domain
is setup like so:
IN MX 5 FreeBSD.machine.one
IN MX 10 FreeBSD.machine.two
some-domain is not in FreeBSD.machine.two sendmail.cw as I want it to
be a backup mail server for machine one and to spool up email for machine
one until it comes back up.
Right now for some-domain, I'm getting "Relaying denied" in machine two.
What do I need to do on machine two to get it to act as a secondary mailserver
for some-domain?
thanks for your help

You need to configure sendmail on machine 2 to accept/relay mail for
some-domain. Otherwise, sendmail will treat it as some third-party
attempt to use your mail server as an SMTP relay. |

With sendmail, you can do this using the /etc/mail/relay-domains file.

Ok, I'll give this a shot. I thought that relay-domains was just a list
of clients that could use sendmail on the host as their smtp server for
sending email without using authentication. I'll give this a shot though.
thanks

Relaying denied means that you havn't told your mail servers what networks
they can accept mail from, what hosts they can accept mail from, you want
to use authentication but don't have a client that supports SMTP auth, or
what hosts the mail is destined for.

I understand that. The primary mail server is not getting "Relaying denied"
and it accepts email for domains that I have listed in sendmail.cw and the
server has smtp auth for roaming email clients using it for smtp.
The problem is that I'm getting "Relaying Denied" on the secondary mailserver.
from clients sending email to user@somedomain where user@somedomain's mailbox
is on the primary mailserver. How do I get the secondary mailserver to
forward to the primary or queue email in /var/spool/mqueue for delivery to the
primary mail server when it is ready to receive email?

There are possible isues with doing so (as commented on in the
default sendmail.mc file), but I believe all that I changed when I
set that up was uncommenting:
FEATURE(relay_based_on_MX)
I can't confirm that now, as I don't have a secondary mail server
running anymore.
