Hi! Thanks for your suggestion.
I have a question though:
in the startup script:
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -v -u 1003 -g 1002 0 smtp \
/bin/sh -c ' /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
cd /var/qmail/autoturn
exec /usr/local/bin/setlock -nx $TCPREMOTEIP/seriallock \
/usr/local/bin/maildirsmtp $TCPREMOTEIP \
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
autoturn-$TCPREMOTEIP- $TCPREMOTEIP AutoTURN
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
' 2>&1 | /var/qmail/bin/splogger smtpd 3 &
maildirsmtp is the engine that is pushing out the mails.
But from maildirsmtp man pages:
--------------------------------------------------
NAME
maildirsmtp - send a maildir through SMTP
SYNOPSIS
maildirsmtp dir prefix host helohost
DESCRIPTION
maildirsmtp scans a maildir, dir, and sends each message to host through
SMTP. It removes prefix from the begin- ning of each envelope recipient
address. It ignores any message whose recipient address does not begin
with pre-fix.
-----------------------------------------------------
I believe the prefix here refers to autoturn-$TCPREMOTEIP- which is the
IP address of the mail server that is making the ETRN/SMTP connection.
If you look at a sample message in the autoturn directory:
*******************************************************************

*******************************************************************
It occurs to me that maildirsmtp will not deliver messages that does not
match the IP address of the mail server (mx1 or mx2) that is making the
SMTP or ETRN connection to the AUTOTURN server, even though the mails for
both server are in the same directory.
This would means that if the customer wants to retrieve all his mails,
both mx1 and mx2 must make the ETRN/SMTP connection (but of course not at
the same time)
What I would like here is to push out all the mails to the customer when
either mx1 or mx2 do the ETRN/SMTP connection. That way, if mx1 is down,
mx2 can still get all the mails.
Appreciate any suggestions and help.
Thanks.

#Set up excactly like described in the AUTOTURN file of serialmail.
#In steps 6) and 7) replace the IP address (1.2.3.4) with the ip address

#
#Then do the following:
# # cd /var/qmail/autoturn
# # ln -s <ip_mx1_cust> <ip_mx2_cust>
#This creates a symbolic link, so both "IP addresses" share the same

#That should do the trick.
