RE: [vchkpw] Re: Need advise on secondary mail server for backup purpose.
basically, once yr primary mail server is up , the secondary will deliver the mail to yr primary mail server... this was the concept... please check on yr secondary mail server.. do your get the same MX record like MX 10 mail MX 20 mail1 tq -Original Message- From: Kuan Yik [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 07, 2003 12:03 PM To: Kenneth Ling; Cream[DONut]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [vchkpw] Re: Need advise on secondary mail server for backup purpose. yeah...think should work.

thanks for your guys information.

[vchkpw] Re: Need advise on secondary mail server for backup purpose.
Hi, yes that's correct. I'm not shure about the time that the backup server will hang on to the message. I've a backup mail server with only qmail running, with my domains in rcpthosts, and it will receive all mail when mail1 is down ou loaded, then it will try to send the mail it is holding to mal1. nothing special on the second server. That simple. :-) Cream[DONut] writes: At 18:05 06-08-2003 +0800, you wrote: my mailserver1 has been configured properly and it is up and running without any problem.

[vchkpw] Re: Need advise on secondary mail server for backup purpose.
Hi, that all you need on the DNS side. On the mailserver1 you'll need to have qmail configured to receive mail for your domain (or domains) and on mailserver2 also (basicly have all your domains in $QMAILPATH/control/rcpthosts). Regards srosa Kuan Yik writes: Hi, I have already configured 2 MX record in DNS. MX 10 mailserver1.mail.com MX 20 mailserver2.mail.com I want to setup a secondary mail server to catch all the email when the primary mail server goes down and when the primary mail server up again then the secondary mail server will flush all the email to the primary mail server again. Is that possible? Is it somehting to do use witl the qmial-remote? Is there any useful link can help me on this? Please advise.
