  Not that I am aware of!

  If you reconfigure sendmail

I'm not sure if the above discussion is related to my query, so I will
ask anyway...

I would like to use my RAQ4 to be able to provide backup MX
Preference=20 type service for another domain that I am not hosting, as
a backup for their primary MX=10 if/when it is down to temporarily hold
incoming email and relay it when available.

Do I need to be hosting the domain for which I want to provide
forwarding / relaying? Or will the RAQ simply keep trying to forward to
the MX=10 server as configured in sendmail as long as it's set up in the
"relay for the following hosts/domains" box?

Do I simply have to enter the domain name (for the domain to which I
want to provide mx=20 backup service) in: control panel -> Mail server
prefs -> "Relay for the following Hosts/Domains" to allow this or is it
more involved?

Regards and many thanks in advance,
Chris
