Re: second domain not working

Hi Russell,

I believe telnet should be done for MX record (the lowest record) and 
not for the domain.

Let me explain you the setup.

The email server and the client are in the same network. When both are 
in the same network the MX record is not used. Infact the clients 
directly sends the email to the mail server. Qmail-ldap server on 
receiving the email will check the entry in the rcpthosts and locals 
files if entry exist it will deliver the email locally. But as per the 
wiki http://www.qmail-ldap.org/wiki/index.php/Configuration_FAQ --> " 
qmail-ldap has no concept of 'virtual'domains. All it cares about is the 
email address of the recipient. As soon as it finds that address in an 
LDAP record it puts that message into that maildir. "

All the 3 things I have done, Entry of 2nd domain in rcpthosts and 
locals files and added the user to ldap database.
But still it will say remote in the log. Any suggestions.
