XMail Forum > XMail Server > Relay To Another Server, Messages Lost

Posted by: romee Jul 23 2010, 03:15 PM

Hi,

I'm running XMail 1.25 on gentoo 2.6.28-hardened-r9. Some of the accounts from more domains need to be relayed to another server, running Microsoft Exchange. I'm using mailproc.tab with values

"smtprelay" "gateway.domain.tld:25"

to accomplish this. Everything works fine, as far as the server is online. But if for some reason this server is down, messages get lost.

My question is, is there a way to configure XMail in a way, so that messages get cached in local mailbox if the gateway is inaccessible and the server would retry to deliver them?

Otherwise maybe I'll have to setup a pop3 connector on every gateway, so that it would download these messages.

Thank you!
