Re: Back up email...

[john@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (John Sievert)]

I'm really interested in this too.  I have tried to do this on 
occasion and not have not had a lot of success with this.  I would 
like to hear how you would configure post.office for both the primary 
and secondary mx record servers.  from here, i think i could infer 
this to my installation.

what we have is post.office as our primary server, it is configured 
as mail.customer1st.com with a priority of 10.  Our secondary is mail 
server that is integral to our web crossings intranet server at 
minnesota.customer1st.com.  We would like the secondary server to 
collect the smtp connections when our primary is down.  when the 
primary is back up, then we would like to have the secondary relay 
all the stored mail to the primary.

Where we seem to get into problems is that we don't want the 
secondary to reject mail that is not explicitly sent to it for an 
account that it does not have (it has no accounts) and we want 
post.office to accept and not reject relays from it but still do its 
filtering thing.

Comments?
