What you’ll need for this is a lower (higher number) preference MX record on all domains. I don’t know much as far as documentation, and I only set this up myself for the first time last night, so I’m only sure this will work in theory.

 

Again, make sure the linux box is set as the secondary (or even lower) mail exchanger, and add the domain names to only qmail/control/rcpthosts. I haven’t been able to drop my primary mail server offline yet to see if it does work or not, but with the advice I received, this is how you need to do it.

 

I’ve never worked with virus checking with qmail, but I’m sure somebody else will be able to answer this for you.

(Forgot to send my reply to the list. Someone please correct me if I’m wrong, because I’m working with a setup similar to this as well.)

Subject: qmail as mail cache

 

Hello

 

At the moment we have a AS/400 with Lotus Domino mail server, which handels all

mails for our domain. This server goes down every night, so it's impossible

to receive mails and the sender gets an error message.

 

Now I setup a linux box with qmail for caching the incomming mails for about 48 hrs.

At the same time, the mails should be checked for viruses and forwarded to the IP

adress of the mail server.

 

If anyone can help me with information and related links to this problem.

 

Thanks
