We have an Exim server that only acts as a relay server and does not 
hold/manage recipient mailboxes.  Can anyone suggest a (free but good) method 
for implementing failover for this box.

There needs to be a level of intelligence to determine if the server is up or 
down as a lot of the emails that go through this relay are generated by scripts 
or multifunction printers that don't hold emails for resending.  I was thinking 
about DNS round-robin but this would not be suitable.  Also some of the 
applications that generate mail have to use IP addresses and will not accept 
DNS names.

Regards,

Peter
