Does this solve the problem? if IP1 is down will postfix retry to send via IP2? Or will postfix just defer the delivery? If so then smtp_fallback_relay seems to me to be the better option because there is no delay. Anyway, what i would like to achieve is that if server1.tld is down, then do not use any relayhost, but send it out directly. I thought maybe there is an easy way to achieve this. kind regards, Georg
