I have the following problem: I need to set the sendmail (host ALFA) so that it can receive e-mails for another machine (host BETA) if that one is down, and not just receive, but DELIVER them locally (i.e. to the mailboxes at ALFA), as if they were send to this host. Ok, I set MX records to have ALFA as a forwarder for BETA with the low precedence. on ALFA: I tried to include BETA in Cw (which is enough for IRIX for example). I tried to include BETA in sendmail.cw this doesn't help. What am I missing ? What is so specific about sendmail for FreeBSD that it doesn't want to handle this ? thanks. -- IgoR@uiuc.edu aka StR
