How long will it queue up mail if the primary server is down for an extended period of time?

Put the domains in question into control/rcpthosts but not into locals or virtualdomains. If you want explicit routing and not just relaying based on MX, edit control/smtproutes Oh yes, and read the man pages for qmail-send and qmail-smtpd -Johan -- Johan Almqvist http://www.almqvist.net/johan/qmail/ msg09874/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
