I'm currently the backup MX for a domain for which I have no actual
responsibility. Unfortunately, they seem to have lost their primary MX
server in DNS and it looks like it'll be a while before they get it
back. In other words, I'm currently the only MX record for the domain.
This means that right now, mail to them gets bounced by me with "loops
back to myself" which, obviously is the correct thing to happen (in
other words, this isn't one of those "Postfix sucks! It's bouncing
mail!" posts :) ).
I'd like to tell Postfix to hold all mail to them for a bit rather than
try to deliver it. I thought that one way to fake that would be to add
a transports entry of the form:
domain smtp:[192.168.3.1]
which would then attempt to forward all the messages to the IP address
which, since it's fictitious and isn't running an SMTP server, would
result in the messages being queued; this didn't seem to work. Guess
postfix is too smart for me :)
Any suggestions as to where I can read up how to do something like this?
Thanks in advance. I'm attaching 'postconf -n' more for the etiquette
of it than because I think it might actually be relevant :). BTW, do
people prefer that just pasted in, or attached?
