<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">I have a client that has
about 120 sites that are now only webservices with no email. Dns is
working and all email outside the box works fine. The issue is that as
they were setting stuff up they did not disable the email for the sites
and/or remove the localhostname aliases. I suspect I can remove all
the entries in /etc/mail/local-host-names that are troublesome but it
appears that the gui will not reflect that email is disabled and some
(all?) of the entries will be put back someone changes something email
related.<br>
<br>
For instance :<br>
<br>
</font>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Site name <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.mydomain.com">www.mydomain.com</a>
has an Email Server Alias of mydomain.com<br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">There is an entry in
/etc/mail/local-host-names for both <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.mydomain.com">www.mydomain.com</a> and mydomain.com<br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">disabling email in the gui
does not affect that <br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">there does seem to be an
entry in access that appears to set up an error msg for email to both
domains but that is not what should happen. The server should be set
up to NOT recieve email for those domains by removing or commenting out
the entries in local-host-names so that forms or other system generated
emails will be sent to the dns resolved mx record for that domain.<br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Shouldn't it?<br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">if I just delete the
entries in local-host-name they reappear so I assume these entries are
stored in a db somewhere. Can anyone give me a clue where to look?<br>
