>With the RaQ2 server configure as a backup mail server to receive the mail
for a domain, example where the MX record is set at 10 for the primary and
20 for the backup. Where do you setup the number of retry to relay mail to
the primary mail server and where do you preset the time it will hold the
mail for relay before sending it back as undeliver?
Could someone post specific info regarding this matter... or possibly a web
site with more details about setting up a backup mail server in general.
All I know about the topic is:
1) DNS record gets MX preference 10 for primary and 20 for backup (as the
previous post mentioned)
and
2) somehow the backup server stores any and all email received, then
attempts to forward it to the primary at some interval of time.
How is all this set up using sendmail?!?
