Is it possible to have IMail be a backup to an Exchange mail
server so that if the Exchange server went offline then IMail
would take over and receive the email msg's and once Exchange came
backup, it would take back over.
This is how i see it working "somehow"
1) 2 mx records are created for the domain with the exchange
server recieving the first priority and the Imail receiving the
last so that if the exchange server can not be reached then imail
could receive the email.
2) the Imail server would have a bag account for that domain that
would receive any email addressed for that domain that could not
be delivered to the exchange server.
*now this is the **ghost** part that I'm not sure of*
3) exchange would be setup to connect to an outside email account
and pull all email from that remote box, and then distribute it to
its own mail boxes when they are received.
Now #3 is the one i don't understand if its possible at all or
not. I am not the exchange administrator and its been a few years
since i've worked on it. Can someone help?
