Hi,
We have a primary email server at pririoty 10
and backup email server at 20. From time to
time some email get overflowed into the backup
email server. Other than let users to pick
their email from both servers, how can I make
them to appear in a single email directory?
If you can post and email me the answer, in
case I missed the posting, I will really
appreciate the help!

They shouldn't have to unless you have something set up wrong. The
server at MX 20 should just hold the mail until it can forward
to the primary server.
If it's not forwarding, then it sounds like you've told the secondary
that it is the primary in the aliases setup.

1. Ensim system won't feed email to virtual host mailboxes or forward email
We have just started with one of Advanced Web Hosting's Linux boxes for
several hundred web sites that our volunteer organization (the Genesee
Gateway) makes available to non-profit organizations in our area.
Advanced Web Hosting, has, shall we say, been less than great in helping us
solve the following problem with email.
Email does not work on this machine to any of the accounts that we have
established!
As per an rpm -q query this machine is running:
sendmail-8.11.1-ensim3
on a Linux 6.0 with a 2.2.12-20ensim kernel .
Mail seems stuck in the sendmail queue. You can't read mail sent to a
popmail account and you can't use the popmail account to send mail out.
Here is what seems to be a typical segment from the maillog:
del
ay=3+20:00:23, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=virthostmail, pri=15600490,
relay=bachkid
susa.org, dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Connection reset by ns1.rfnweb.com

e/virtual/bku-admin

Jun 8 18:13:06 ns1 sendmail[9604]: f552Ig420518: smtpquit: mailer
virthostmail
exited with exit value 25
My less than expert knowledge suggests that there is a permissions problem
somewhere.
The permissions for bku-admin are:
drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 4096 Jun 3 10:58 bku-admin
Based on this information it looks to me like DNS is working and email is
reaching sendmail but sendmail can't deliver it locally.
Can anyone point me to the cause or at least let me know something useful to
checkout?
thanks!
