RE: [cobalt-users] Backup MX Server

["John M" <discuss@xxxxxxxx>]

In this scenario, the backup MX server would permit any mail going to
domain.com in itself and continue to relay it to the primary mail server
until a time-out period (a few days) has exceeded.  The backup server should
not challenge usernames nor need usernames to be entered.  I don't want to
have my users create user names on their primary mail server than have to go
to the backup mail server and re-create users names there.

Capture it where? You just create the MX record and then the other server
needs to be setup. See http://www.sendmail.org/ for that info. BTW, I hope
you also have DNS on other servers as well or the plan is useless.
