Backup MX at same location issues
Problem reported by Steve Reid - 10/16/2014 at 8:43 AM
Resolved
I have one backup mx setup locally to my main Smartermail server, however it always responds with no such user.
 
I have a third backup mx offsite which seems to work fine.
 
Yesturday my main box went down because of Smartermails service crash, however no email was collected on my backup mxes.
 
I guess the email tried to go to my second backup mx which responded with no such user. And thats where it ended, nothing was sent to my third backup mx.
 
I do not know where to look to find clue as to why my secondary backup is not working...
 
any pointers would be great.

Is the communication between the servers logged somewhere?

User verification is defiantly not working at all... No matter what I get no such user here.

I've had to switch it to domain forwarder without user verification before it will say recipient OK

This turned out to be a DNS issue. After correcting a problem with MX records everything began working properly.
 
Thanks for the help Support!!!
