That depends on your perspective. It needs a higher number in the DNS (which is what is used in DNS), but some DNS providers (like Register.com) don't let you give a number value, but rather give you a popup with choices like High, Medium, Low, and Extra Low... which then translates to the opposite direction in numbers (10, 20, 30, 50, IIRC) when it builds the zone file. So the important thing to make sure of is the backup mail server will be looked at AFTER the primary mail server... best way to check, do an NSLookup on the MX record, and make sure the primary mail server has the lowest number in the list (lowest number = highest priority) -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
