I have RedHat 7.2 doing the same. sendmail only on the receiving one to scan
and pass it along to the one running both pop and sendmail. It is also
important to have high priority mail sent to the mailscanning server and
another MX record set to low priority pointing to the server of which your
pop service and senmail are on.

Im wondering if your DNS is misconfigured. for both MX records..

Hello

I have just installed a Red Hat Linux 7.3 system running Mailscanner.

The system will be acting at as a mail gateway scanning mail and forwarding
onto an internal lan mail server.

I have made use of the /etc/mail/mailertable file to forward
on scanned mail to the appropriate lan mail server.

I have added appropriate domain into /etc/mail/relay-domains

When inbound mail for the domain comes in sendmail is bouncing the mail with
550 User Unknown

I have test machine running under the same conditions on test network which
is working fine.

I am racking my brains as to what I have missed out. Can anybody give me a
few pointers as to what I have forgotten ?

Thanks

David
