Hi,

I have the following in my .mc :

define(`SMART_HOST', `relay:v.example.com')dnl

My relay mailer looks like :

Mrelay, P=[IPC], F=mDFMuXa8, S=EnvFromSMTP/HdrFromSMTP,
R=MasqSMTP, E=\r\n, L=2040,
T=DNS/RFC822/SMTP,
A=TCP $h 2525

The problem is that for v.example.com, I have the following MX:

smtp.example.com
another.example.com

neither of which are v.example.com (Yes, v.example.com doesn't
receive mail for itself, but it does relay for me)

When I send mail, its attempting to go via smtp.example.com .
Short of putting the IP in, is there a way to overcome this?

Thanks, Tuc

Variant 1 (general):
define(`SMART_HOST', `relay:[v.example.com]')
Put name of the smart host into square brackets to disable MX lookups.

Variant 2 (case specific):
Because *you* use modified relay mailer modify it further:

dnl modify A= part of relay mailer
define(`RELAY_MAILER_ARGS',`TCP $h 2525')dnl
dnl add F=0 flag to relay mailer (disable) MX lookups
MODIFY_MAILER(`RELAY',`+0)dnl
dnl include smtp mailers (smtp,esmtp,smtp8,dsmtp,relay) after the above
MAILER(`smtp')dnl

Correction:

MODIFY_MAILER_FLAGS(`RELAY',`+0')dnl
