Almost. You need to define all possible names as LOCAL. For example, on
my cluster of five CPU's here's a snippet of MCP SHOW:
Domain-to-path mappings:
Domain="ccvax1.ccs.csus.edu", Path=Local
Domain="ccvax1.csus.edu", Path=Local
Domain="ccvax1", Path=Local
Domain="[130.86.89.1]", Path=Local
Domain="ccvax2.ccs.csus.edu", Path=Local
Domain="ccvax2.csus.edu", Path=Local
Domain="ccvax2", Path=Local
Domain="[130.86.89.2]", Path=Local
I then use MX records in the Domain Name Service config file to point all
of these machines (ccvax1, ccvax2...) to the actual machine running the
SMTP_Server.
And as was mentioned, ORDER IS IMPORTANT. These must come before the
wildcards!
Hope this helps...
