[cobalt-users] Secondary MX

["Oger" <oger@xxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings list...

Background:  I have a customer with a worldwide presence.  They use their
corporate network to host everything EXCEPT www, which I provide for them.
Now their local office would like to have some authority over their e-mail
as well.  They want to have the home office handle all the existing mail,
and have us handle new e-mail accounts they set up.  They do NOT want to
migrate all their accounts to us, but for setting up new accounts we are
much more responsive than their IT department.

Here's my question:  If I have their IT dept. set up an MX record with the
name of our host (I guess we'll need an A record, too) and then if an e-mail
is sent to an address that is not sent to the mailserver at Headquarters,
will it fall to ours?

Thanks!
