Yes, and btw it all depends from whatever particular setup one has; for example, one may have multiple wan connections terminated on a load balancer and a "cluster" of ASSP boxes behind the balancer, the ASSP boxes in turn may forward emails to a second, backend cluster of mailservers which will then handle the messages routing (same goes for the outbound); in other cases one may have multiple ASSP boxes sitting on different IP addresses and configured as public MX with different priorities forwarding to different backend servers... or you may even play DNS "roundrobin" so you may have (e.g.) $ORIGIN example.com. mx IN A 1.2.3.1 mx IN A 1.2.3.2 mx IN A 1.2.3.3 mx IN A 1.2.3.4 mx IN A 1.2.3.5 mx IN A 1.2.3.6 @ IN MX 10 mx.example.com. and btw a bunch of ASSP boxes sitting on the various IPs and then routing incoming emails to two or more backend servers (or even to some IPs pointing to a cluster); again it all depends from the local settings and from what one wants/needs to obtain ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Assp-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/assp-user
