There must be an underlying reason for this exception. Let's focus on the
root cause of this. There's probably a better way to do what you're
trying to do.
Basicly I run the ISP part of this company. We have 1 mail server for our
domain, and some mispellings of it. I want all mail sent to any host in
our domain to be picked up by this mail server (will be putting a wildcard
MX in place soon too).
But there is 1 exception. We have a seperate machine that belongs to the
paging service also run by this company. There are a few accounts on this
machine. When e-mail is directed at an account on this machine it sends
the page out the serial port to the paging terminal. From outside of our
SMTP server everything works fine (even with the wildcard MX in place,
named knows that "epage" is defined and doesn't try to replace it with the
catch all).
I saw the esmtproutes config file. That seemed like what I needed, just
to specify a special rule for this 1 host. But I seems that the locals
file is considered before esmtproutes.
