Thanks John.
My problem is that my local machine will be on a cable modem with a
dynamic address. So what do I put as my lower cost MX records IP address?
If I put a bogus one it will go to the colo machine after failure of the
bogus address, but when I get it to process the queue, won't it try and
send it to the address of the MX record, which is bogus.
The local machine will be connected perminatly, but as it cant run a
server (AUP) and has a dynamic IP it makes it a little fiddly. I could put
the address as the lower cost, but then its going to deliver it to the
local machine first. I want the local machine to suck it off the colo
machine. Am I making any sense?
I am sure others have solved this issue.
