Well, it seems that this doesn't work, as it should according to the FAQ at <http://www.courier-mta.org/FAQ.html#backupmx>. I've set up frobniz.com as a locally-hosted domain on both machines and set: frobniz.com. IN MX 10 shakti.fmp.com. frobniz.com. IN MX 5 kali.fmp.com. Mail to [email protected] is deliverable on macine B (kali). If I engage machine A (shakti) in an SMTP dialog it either accepts mail for [email protected] if a proper local delivery route is available, or it says "550 User <[email protected]> unknown" if it's not. It doesn't seem to know about kali, which is the preferred mail server for the domain.
