of course attached to this reply is the tnef/winmail.dat  ;-)

Too bad - it's a feature rich server and a good application is to use
Linux as a mail gateway for spam/virus inspection and then passed on to
another server for user delivery.

I'm not against Exchange anyways, its a good application. We have some other problems with that.  

Anyways, Is it possible to direct emails to another server, if the primary server is down from the mail gateway. Let's say I have a Linux based email gateway that filters out spam, checks for anti-virus and passes it on to mail server1. For some reason, mail server1 is down or not receiving emails, is it possible to configure the linux email gateway to pass the email to mail server2??? Is it possible to do this in postfix, qmail, sendmail or any other MTA/MDA??? 


Thanks
