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! Either you or I misunderstand his problem. As I understand it, NODE1.UNIV-ST-ETIENNE.FR is NOT clustered with STROPH, so it CAN'T be a local delivery. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Carl J Lydick | INTERnet: CARL@SOL1.GPS.CALTECH.EDU | NSI/HEPnet: SOL1::CARL Disclaimer: Hey, I understand VAXen and VMS. That's what I get paid for. My understanding of astronomy is purely at the amateur level (or below). So unless what I'm saying is directly related to VAX/VMS, don't hold me or my organization responsible for it. If it IS related to VAX/VMS, you can try to hold me responsible for it, but my organization had nothing to do with it.
