But it's also not forbidden.
There are two possible cases:
1. The sending server does not establish connections to other servers
but uses a "smarthost". You would have to configure the the sending
server and the smarthost of behave to the outside world as the
smarthost would be the sender. (E.g. if you use dialback for sender
address verification, your smarthost would have to be able to do
valid dialbacks.)
2. The receiving server might have a backup server with lower priority
for delivery in DNS. You might have to configure it to forward the
stanzas to the primary server if that comes back online. For dialback
again you might have to configure both servers to generate the same
dialback keys as for outgoing connections of the primary server other
servers might use the backup server to verify the keys as well.
