I understand.  If you already have dovecot 2.3 up and working, then
the migration to 2.4 config syntax is... difficult.  Read and re-read
the docs.

So I'm not sure how well this is going to really work for you, since
now you will have email showing up at one server or another, though if
you setup the primary with the lower MX value it will get almost all
the emails.  But you'll still have users checking email on both
mailboxes looking for emails.  15 minutes is a long time these days.

I'd strongly suggest you don't do this unless you really really need
to do it.
