Can someone explain what the advantage of having a secondary MX is? I thought
all sending mail servers have a default 4 hour warning, 5 day return to
sender anyway. So what is the point of relaying mail to the mx backup, when it
is easier to just let the original mail server keep retrying? Or have I
overlooked something obvious?
Cheers,
