if the test server is down, your main server will send warning messages.
add "errors_to =" to the router redirecting an extra copy to your test
server.
if you want to preserve the envelope header in the extra copy, you need
to keep it around for use in the transport. excerpt from our
configuration:
imap_shadow:
driver = manualroute
verify = false
transport = shadow_smtp
# avoid bounces, but preserve sender information
address_data = $address_data return_path=$sender_address
errors_to =
route_data = archive.example.org
unseen = true
[...]
shadow_smtp:
driver = smtp
return_path = ${extract {return_path}{$address_data}}
