Mail bounces when the primary server is offline

Post by drallas »

Somehow the Secondary MX is not working. I set it up last year and it never worked;

these are the dns entries:

Non-authoritative answer:
mail.piojo.net MX preference = 10, mail exchanger = mail.piojo.net
mail.piojo.net MX preference = 100, mail exchanger = mail.rollernet.us
mail.piojo.net MX preference = 200, mail exchanger = mail2.rollernet.us

When my mail server is oflline all the mail being sent bounces!

Sent >>> RCPT TO: <%user%@piojo.net>
Received <<< 554 <%user%@piojo.net>: Relay access denied

Could not deliver mail to this user.
%user%@piojo.net


I have no clue what is wrong? To me it all seems setup fine.

The domain is incorrect in the account manager; it needs to be "piojo.net" and not "mail.piojo.net".

Thanks a lot :D I changed the domain, it works, mails are Queued. Finally i can do maintenance on the server without worrying about mail getting lost.
