the mail to yr primary mail server... this was the concept...

please check on yr secondary mail server..
do your get the same MX record like

MX 10 mail

backup purpose.


yeah...think should work. I have shutdown the primary mailserver and the
message has gone into the secondary mail server. Think the message should be
in the qmiail queue now. And, I have make the primary mailserver up again,
but I am still waiting for the message from secondary mail server. So, is
there any command to flush or force the secondary mail server message from
the qmail queue?

Or any configuration file to customize it?

Thanks.
