Re: Backup mx and too many hops

So my mail server is actually behind another mail server. When you do a
"dig mx" on my domain from outside our network I see this:

services.mydomain.com. 23h54m6s IN MX 10 mail-in4.mydomain.com.
services.mydomain.com. 23h54m6s IN MX 10 mail-in5.mydomain.com.
services.mydomain.com. 23h54m6s IN MX 30 mail-in.euro.mydomain.com.
services.mydomain.com. 23h54m6s IN MX 10 mail-in3.mydomain.com.

Inside our network, I see this:

mydomain.com. 7h45m22s IN MX 20 dialog2.corp.mydomain.com.
mydomain.com. 7h45m22s IN MX 10 dialog.corp.mydomain.com.

Thinking that I may have to use the proxy_interfaces option, I went ahead
and upgraded to 2.0.16 (Since I should have a long time ago...). I have
this entry now in main.cf:

proxy_interfaces = ip_address4, ip_address5, ip_address, ip_address3

However, I still am not getting backup's correctly.

Here is the log file on the backup mx server when the primary is down and a
new email comes in. Does this info help?

Thanks,

Adhamh
