Why would you turn off the secondary MX? And depending on your implementation of greylisting if your secondary MX isn't greylisting also it's IP will be allowed by your greylisting and all of the spam can get in through the secondary MX in which case you aren't causing them any backup or grief at all. > How many folks here running mail servers are actually using secondary > MX's anymore? Is there really any point anymore? Of course there is a point. If your mail server is down remote hosts will start bouncing your mail. Too many, especially mailing lists, have a very short bounce time. I've had my mail server down for a few hours before with no secondary MX and found myself off of lists. linux-kernel is especially easy to get yourself bounced off of. - -- Tracy R Reed Read my blog at http://ultraviolet.org Key fingerprint = D4A8 4860 535C ABF8 BA97 25A6 F4F2 1829 9615 02AD Non-GPG signed mail gets read only if I can find it among the spam. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFF6XOI9PIYKZYVAq0RAjl5AJ9ZGHr3UxGkdKoxSbakbGaOSY0HVACdEd/n QgQOlv+t0wdfmyDvpxhIweE= =rUyE -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
