I have a requirement to send all incoming emails via EFA to multiple backend mail servers.
There's only an option to specify one mail server under Transport settings.
I guess this might be a postfix limitation?
domain.com smtp:[192.168.1.1]
I could use DNS RR, but then half the mail goes to one server, and half to the other.
Any thoughts?

Actually, I may have found a possible solution:

Could this be implemented in EFA?

Re: One EFA to multiple backend mail servers
huh?
Just specify the domain and the back end in the transport file
etc...
You can do this through the efa configuration menu, or by hand.

Code: Select all
mydomain1 smtp:[10.1.1.1]
mydomain2 smtp:[192.168.1.1]

Re: One EFA to multiple backend mail servers
What do you need?
1) forward emails to ALL the mail servers behind (parallel approach)
2) forward email to one server with a rotational schema (es. round robin)
3) forward specific domain to a specific server

Hi
Was this ever resolved? I have a situation where we have efa feeding an exchange server and we also want all emails sent to a backup linux box so when the exchange server crashes we can still access our mail on the linux box. Is this possible?

Re: One EFA to multiple backend mail servers
I don't think so, you can only specify one destination in postfix.
If (or rather when) your Exchange server crashes, you would have to change the IP in postfix, unless you use a DNS entry, in which case change your DNS to point to your Linux box.
The "parallel approach" is something I've been trying to do myself.
