I thought about that, but the problem is unintentional outages. The systems people take care that the SMTP is always live, except for those random problems that seem to creep up from time to time. The only thing I can think of then is to run local SMTP servers on each of my Tango servers. That way they can hold the mail until it can either deliver it to out primary SMTP server or out to the internet.

When you say redundant, do you mean to handle When Mail Servers Die (starring Sheriff John Brunell ;), or rather that you want to be able to knowingly turn them on and off without having to reconfigure Witango? What I'm getting at is, you could mangle DNS so that Witango always finds a server because you know to change DNS to 'avoid' the server you're just about to unplug...

I want it to be redundant. -----Original Message----- From: Jon Grieve [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, May 23, 2002 8:04 AM To: Multiple recipients of list witango-talk Subject: RE: Witango-Talk: Multiple SMTP server Larry, It appears (I haven't tried to do this) that you can specify a different mail server on at least a Witango Application basis. I suspect you can probably do this on a per-Domain basis too -- probably by manually adding domains to "domains.ini". Is that what you mean, or more of a safety net (i.e. try Server A, then B if A is not available, etc.)? Jon -----Original Message----- From: Gutman, Larry [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 23 May 2002 1:52 To: Multiple recipients of list witango-talk Subject: Witango-Talk: Multiple SMTP server Can I have more the one SMTP server defined in my tango configurations? If so what is the format.
