hi mark,
With this setup, the Site A users will be checking the mails from Site B server
already, right? site B server will becoming a primary server already, right?
Correct me if I'm wrong.
TQ

What are you goals?
To reduce network usage between site 1 and
site 2. correct?
Do you also _need_ to have a “backup” email server?
So, if this is true, then you need both
servers to have all copies of all mails.
By changing DNS to the 2nd server
IP, you can stop the “extra” traffic across the connection of users
at Site B. They’ll be checking their mail from Server B, and not
crossing the A – B link.
The flow of mail will continue, but will
only cross once, instead of twice (once for the backup server, once for the
user).
So that cuts traffic in half, and you still have a “backup” mail
server with full data for all users.
If you want to have only mail for Site B
go to server B… that’s a different scenario.

automtically forward emails from Primary Server to Secondary Server
Yes, Phil got me right. However,
creating an alias domain name is not a very solution, because users are non-IT
knowledge. it will be a mass asking them to change their email address, and
might get fired :D
Yes, that's what I'm trying to achieve. However, Mark Burlingame gave a very
good suggestion where by I might be able to send the emails from Site A server
to Site B server with an internal DNS Server. Since both sites are connected
via VPN, maybe this is a good hint. But, any input on how to get this done??
Cheers ;)

I think he's asking about
the server side not the client side.
I think what he is asking is he has 2 locations and as an example, use 2 users,
Fred and Mary. Fred works in location 1 and Mary is in location 2.
He only has one domain for mail: abc.com.my
He wants Fred to check his pop account in his local server and wants Mary to
check on the pop server in her location. He's asking if there is a
way to have all mail come into server 1 but since Mary's account isn't in
there, to send it off to server 2.
A couple ways to do this could be to:
-- Make subdomains like location1.abc.com.my and location2.abc.com.my but this
would change the email addresses to be [EMAIL PROTECTED] and
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
-- On the server in location 1, ALL mail comes in. Fred's drops into
his box because it's local but Mary has an account in the local BUT there is a
Forward to server rule on her account that would send it off to the other
server. I'm not sure where the setting is for the forward but I'm
pretty sure I stumbled on it somewhere.
Hopefully this helps get a bit closer to the answer.
Phil
