Hi,
I receive mail for my lan from a RH 4.2 host via fetchmail and a cron job.
I want to use procmail to deliver mail from the Debian user list to my pc
running Debian. I have the following recipe setup to catch Debian mail and
forward them to my Debian host (named puddin):
:0
* ^Resent-From: debian-user at lists.debian.org
{
:0 c
! dsj at puddin
:0
/home/dsj/inbox/DebianList
}
This successfully copies to the Debian mailing list on the RH machine, but I
get an error on trying to copy to puddin. (Puddin was an old pet...) The
error is
554 MX list for puddin.dsj.net points back to $MY_ISP_MAILHOST
554 <dsj at puddin.dsj.net>... Local configuration error
Well, this makes sense, because only my RH gateway host is registered to
receive mail with my ISP in his DNS records. That's the way I want it.
So, do I solve it by
1. altering the RH hsot procmail recipe
2. altering the RH host sendmail config
3. altering the RH host fetchmail config
4. setting up a DNS beyond what's in /etc/hosts on the RH host
5. configuring the Debian host's smail config
6. something else with my ISP
7. or some other alternative I hadn't thought of
I will really appreciate any advice you have...
TIA!
