Yes, you could work with him and be a backup MX for him, and he could be a backup for you. Instead of setting up a Forced route for *, do the following, givin that you host mydomain1.com, mydomain2.com, and mydomain3.com, and he hosts hisdomain1.com, hisdomain2.com, and hisdomain3.com Add the following forced routes on his mail server: *.mydomain1.com port25, preference0, and put in the IP address of your mail server. *.mydomain2.com port25, preference0, and put in the IP address of your mail server.*.mydomain3.com port25, preference0, and put in the IP address of your mail server. Then add his mail server as a lower priority in your DNS records. Add the following forced routes on your mail server: *.hisdomain1.com port25, preference0, and put in the IP address of his mail server. *.hisdomain2.com port25, preference0, and put in the IP address of his mail server.*.hisdomain3.com port25, preference0, and put in the IP address of his mail server. Then add your mail server as a lower priority in his DNS records. Hope this helps, Jim Barstow Internet Network Engineer Local Internet Services, Inc.

I have a business partner who is also running VOP. Would we be able to set up POs on our systems for each other with a lower priority MX and become backup for each other?

Make this your lower priority (higher number) mx record in DNS so if your primary is offline, this server will queue mail for delivery to your primary when its back online.

I am to the point now where I need to start thinking about a secondary backup email server running on another network. What setup would be the best scenario? -- Best regards, John mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** To leave this list, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put the word "LEAVE" in the BODY of the email. ** To leave this list, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put the word "LEAVE" in the BODY of the email. ** To leave this list, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put the word "LEAVE" in the BODY of the email. ** To leave this list, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put the word "LEAVE" in the BODY of the email.
