Disabled domain or non authoritative

Idea shared by Manuel - 12/29/2014 at 8:41 AM

Proposed

Hello,
when I migrate customer to my SmarterMail Server, there is a period of time (days sometimes) that the domain and the mailboxes are configured on the SmarterMail server, but the dns has not changed, and the mailboxes are on another server.
It's possible to implement the ability to "disable" the domain, or make domain to "non-authoritative" )such as with Exchange?) ?

Tnx

Manuel

as i know you can disable an domain. But in this case will all mail-accounts within your smartermail get an error message then they try to send an email to this disabled domain...

unfortunaly smartermail doesnt handle an disabled domain as an non existing domain within smartermail :*(

This sounds like a good feature request. I can see where this would come in handy.

The short answer is no. SmarterMail will always consider itself the authoritative server for any domain installed. SmarterMail looks at itself first, then the Hosts file, then DNS queries.
