RH forwards to Debian

1998-07-05 16:37:36
Hi,

I receive mail for my lan from a RH 4.2 host via fetchmail and a cron job.
I want to use procmail to deliver mail from the Debian user list to my pc
running Debian.  I have the following recipe setup to catch Debian mail and
forward them to my Debian host (named puddin):

:0
* ^Resent-From: debian-user(_at_)lists(_dot_)debian(_dot_)org
{

   :0 c
   ! dsj(_at_)puddin
   
   :0
   /home/dsj/inbox/DebianList
   
}

This successfully copies to the Debian mailing list on the RH machine, but I
get an error on trying to copy to puddin.  (Puddin was an old pet...)  The
error is 

554 MX list for puddin.dsj.net points back to $MY_ISP_MAILHOST
554 <dsj(_at_)puddin(_dot_)dsj(_dot_)net>... Local configuration error

Well, this makes sense, because only my RH gateway host is registered to
receive mail with my ISP in his DNS records.  That's the way I want it.

So, do I solve it by 

  1. altering the RH host procmail recipe
  2. altering the RH host sendmail config
  3. altering the RH host fetchmail config
  4. setting up a DNS beyond what's in /etc/hosts on the RH host
  5. configuring the Debian host's smail config
  6. something else with my ISP
  7. or some other alternative I hadn't thought of

I figured I'd try procmail first, but perhaps a combination of 1 and 4 is
best?

I will really appreciate any advice you have...

TIA!
