Qmail issue


Hi Folks,

I have a query on qmail server and would appreciate if you can shed some light on it. Or rather let me put it other way, I already identified the issue but not sure how to remediate it.

Well I have a qmail HUB server running and other from other locations I am pulling the mails using fetchmail.

Here is the topology

qmail HUB -: center.example.com
location 1 -: loc1.example.com
location 2 -: loc2.example.com
location 3-: loc3.example.com

Now qmail HUB and location 1 resides on the same server. So, whats happening here is since qmail HUB and loc1 resides on same server; I believe whenever any mail sent from loc1.example.com gets rewritten to center.example.com. I.e if I am being used on loc1 and if I am sending mail using User ID user1@loc1.example.com to foreign domain say xyz@gamil.com, it gets overwritten to user1@center.example.com.

Can some one tell me what settings I do need to make on my server so that mail sent from user1.loc1.example.com should not be overwritten by center.example.com.

Hi,

You can edit controls/defaulthost and use loc1.example.com as the hostname

Regards
