The linux email gateway that I mentioned is mail.xyz.com and it has to relay emails to mail server1, if it goes down it has to relay emails to mail server2. xyz.com has the linux email gateway as the mail server (MX record). How do I configure this to relay emails the way I said. -----Original Message----- From: plug-discuss-admin@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us on behalf of Matt Alexander Sent: Mon 12/20/2004 7:20 PM To: plug-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us Subject: Re: Opinion on high-volume Email server!

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??? You can do this with Postfix using the transport map. Use a host or domain that has multiple MX records. ~M -- Get Firefox! http://getfirefox.com/ --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
