RE: [cobalt-users] Setting up Qube3 as a secondary mail server

["InfoMedia - Claudio Cataldo" <infomedia@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I did everything with the DNS

Now, how do I exactly tell my Qube3 to accept mail for the primary?

Is it right to add the domain name without the host name in "Receive Email
Addressed To Hosts/Domains"?

Thank you

Hi,

This is simple..

1) Use a MX record with a lower priority (Higher number is lower
priority) for the backup server.

2) The backup server needs to be configured to accept mail for the
domain in question.

3) That is it..

So for an example,

MX 10	primary-server
MX 20 secondary-server

Make sure the secondary server will accept mail for the primary..  That
is it!!!
