That's odd. I have a similar set-up and it just works. I don't have to do anything to have the mail relayed to the primary when it comes back online. Assuming that the backup server has an entry for the primary's domain in esmtpacceptmailfor.dir/accept and that domain is not listed in locals or hosteddomains then the forwarding should be automatic. I don't pretend to know exactly how this is achieved or indeed if I am correct in the above statements, but it sounds to me as if you have a configuration error. Can anyone out there clarify this? ttfn -- Tim Hosking Antonym: The opposite of the word you're trying to think of. _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
