Email Backup

[Graham]

Is there anyway to setup particular mail relays with this ssystem. We are a bakup mail server for a couple of sites.

Can you clarify your post?

I'm not sure what you mean.

Basically we backup a couple of domains ontop of our normal hosting. We have been using ensim up until the switch to your sofware.
In ensim we can set the relayed domains. The just adds an entry in dsendmails relay-hosts file.
We were just wondering how we do the same in this software

You can modify the exim.conf file manually, following instructions available in the Exim book published by CambridgeAIT, or available by googling.

Hey,

I don't think there is a way to add relay domains via DA but... (You might be able to just add them to the /etc/virtual/domains file but, that might be overwritten.

I think you might be able to do something like this:

Create a files in /etc/virtual called "relay_domains"

Put the domains you want to relay for in there. One domain per line (like the "domains" file in that same directory).

Next, change the line in the exim.conf file that looks like this:

domainlist relay_domains = lsearch;/etc/virtual/domains : localhost

and make it look like this:

domainlist relay_domains = lsearch;/etc/virtual/domains : localhost : /etc/virtual/relay_domains

Set the "relay_domains" file to be mail:mail and 644 for permissions (I'm guessing here).

Now, I haven't tested any of this, so use at your own risk.

Be sure to backup the exim.conf before you edit it!

Hope that is at least going in the right direction...
