Store-and-forward is built in to the MX algorithm; I don't know what kind of script you're referring to. If your backup MX has a long queue lifetime, with frequent retries, it serves as a collection point during unexpected downtime on your primary and can prevent remote users from getting unwanted bounces during that period. No scripting is necessary to activate forwarding. Unless you're talking about activating the backup mail *daemon* itself on-demand, which would obvs. vary by vendor. If you are talking about using a shared mailbox server as a backup MX, don't even try. The other option is ATRN/ETRN. But you did not mention these mail technologies, which by their definition involve a scripted/scheduled approach. --Sandy ------------------------------------ Sanford Whiteman, Chief Technologist Broadleaf Systems, a division of Cypress Integrated Systems, Inc. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SpamAssassin plugs into Declude! http://www.imprimia.com/products/software/freeutils/SPAMC32/download/release/ Defuse Dictionary Attacks: Turn Exchange or IMail mailboxes into IMail Aliases! http://www.imprimia.com/products/software/freeutils/exchange2aliases/download/release/ http://www.imprimia.com/products/software/freeutils/ldap2aliases/download/release/ To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
