554 MX list for...

[Daniel Wittenberg]

I have seen these errors before when the MX record points to a machine that
doesn't know it's supposed to accept mail, and you can easily fix this by adding
a line to the cw file.  I'm getting this in a case where I'm trying to use one
machine as a secondary mail exchange for another machine.

servera.company.com is listed as:

IN	MX	10 mail.company.com.
IN	MX	20 servera.company.com.

Now I want servera to queue the mail until mail.company.com comes back up.  I'm
getting these 554 errors on some email when it delivers the mail to servera...

554 MX list for mail.company.com. points back to servera.company.com
554 <user at mail.company.com>... Local configuration error

I obviously can't add mail.company.com to the cw file because it's a different
machine, and I don't want the mail delivered directly to servera, it needs to go
to mail.

What needs to change here so that sendmail won't complain about the MX records?

Thanks,
Dan
