Hi All In extension to the discussions, i have a small query.....If we have two mail server one insite and one offshore. One with Domain name abc.com and with remote.abc.com all the globally accounts are for @abc.com but physically exists on both the servers. Now if user is at remote location, local server will send mail using alias like user1: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
And Remote users are using remote.abc.com for POP3 and SMTP and insite users are using abc.com. Now if we plan for autoroll over if one Mail Server goes down. I was thinking to putting Priority on MX record for both the servers. let us say, abc.com has 10 and remote.abc.com has 15 in DNS. Now if abc.com fails using lower priority mails would go to remote.abc.com. Now query is, do we need fetch mail once abc.com comes into working condition or theres any other alternative that mails from remote.abc.com would come automatically to abc.com once its up.

Thanks for reply. I have gone through the archives. Does qmail and postfix have same funda of virtual domains. I have done it in qmail by using in file /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains. But could not understand how to implement in sendmail. I am a newbie in Linux. If you please explain I will be thankful to you.
