We have now grown to a point where we need to split pop, webmail and smtp
between two machines.
One of the main things that has come up is since the ISP side of things
has been in operation 7+ yrs the pop and smtp names for the users has
always been mail.citytel.net, which is acutally a CNAME to the real
server.
Now we want to put a machine in place for smtp but splitting pop and smtp
between 2 machines is going to be a pain with the names such as they are
for the users.
We still need to accept mail.citytel.net on the smtp server, but users
will still pop mail from mail.citytel.net as well as use mail.citytel.net
as their smtp relay.
So you can see the problem. I'm thinking some sort of DNS configuration
changes to make this work.
Have mail.citytel.net be MX'd to the SMTP machine, but make a new CNAME so
mail.citytel.net will point to the POP server? But that will be bad
because then users will try to relay through it as its their SMTP relay.
since thats what they all have as their SMTP relay.
How about a port redirect so a port 110 request to the smtp server get
shuffled off to the pop server? Though that seems like a hack but thats
what may be needed here.
Anyone have an insight on how this could be done?
Thanks,
Keith
