Hello,
One of my systems is down due to hardware problems. I want to
have all incoming mail to this system switched over another system. I'm
running nis and the users home and mail directories are nfs mounted to
all systems. I thought all I needed to do was to change the mx record to
another system. However the system that is now receiving the mail via
the mx record still won't accept the mail:
Jan 4 13:38:29 uhhepj sendmail[12257]: AA12255:
to=<vjs_at_uhheph.phys.hawaii.edu>, delay=00:01:16,
stat=Deferred: Connection timed out during user open with
uhheph.phys.hawaii.edu
How do I make the system receiving the mail via the mx record(uhhepj),
simply receive the mail without trying to talk to down system (uhheph).
I can think that a cname entry would work but that would give me another
set of problems when my down system is ready to boot.
Thank you,
