I don't know about OS X Server, but on hand-rolled postfix I use on OS X client, I've been using PostfixAdmin, a PHP interface to edit Postfix configs which uses a MySQL back end. http://sourceforge.net/projects/postfixadmin/ There's a checkbox in the domain creation section to tell it "Mail Server is a backup MX". Documentation seems week, but it may do what you want. It's also a web interface for user self-serve password changing, but if it's just for your backup, you won't need that. -- Michael Croft http://www.whiterose.org/michael SAM: It's 106 miles to the Crack of Doom.
