That is what I was trying to point out.
If office1 DNS records say
office1 IN MX 10 office1
office1 IN MX 20 office2
Then in the event office1 is down, mail will be sent to
office2.
If office2 DNS records say:
office2 IN MX 10 office2
office2 IN MX 20 office1
Then in the event office2 is down, mail will be sent to
office1.
In both cases if Imail is set up to accept the mail for the other
machine, mail will be held until the server comes back up or
the retries time out.
