[cobalt-users] RaQ as a secondary MX?

["Paul Welsh" <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Following up from this, it strikes me that sendmail.cw may be all I need
to change and in fact I can simply add the domain to the list under
Control Panel/Mail/Host/Domain Aliases, which is what sendmail.cw seems
to be.  That will tell the raq to receive mail for the particular domain
and then the raq will use DNS to relay to the highest priority mx server
for the domain, or is this too easy?

Hi

This is a pretty newbie question.

I have a raq3 that I want to setup to act as a secondary MX server for a
domain.

I'm happy enough with the DNS side of things.

I've done some searching on the archive and "Neil J. Kemp"
<neil@xxxxxxxxxx> said that what I need to do on the secondary server
is:

1. Edit sendmail.cw and append the name of the domain.
2. Edit virtusertable and append the aliases for whatever redirects or
storage I need.

What I'm unsure about is precisely what to add to virtusertable so that
the secondary server accepts all mail for a domain and relays it to the
highest priority MX server for that domain.

Also, if the highest priority mx server is down, what determines the
frequency at which the secondary server tries to forward the mail and
the number of attempts before it gives up?
