Hello Liron,

         I have set the smtp server up as an backup SMTP but i havent
         been able to make it continue delivery as a backup SMTP to
         more then a week...

         I dont know if anyone has suceeded better?

         Anyway the settings that regulates this is command line in
         starting xmailserver ("rtfm" search for SMAIL):

         -Qt timeout     = Set the timeout to be waited for a next try after send 
failure. Default 480

         -Qi ratio       = Set the increment ratio of the reschedule time in sending a 
messages.
                                At every failure in delivery a message, reschedule 
time T is incremented
                                by ( T / ratio ), therefore  T(i) = T(i-1) + 
T(i-1)/ratio.
                                If You set this ratio to zero, T remain unchanged over 
delivery tentatives.
                                Default 16

        -Qr nretries    = Set the maximum number of times to try to send the message. 
Default 32         


        Hope you get it working the way you want it..

        Br,

LN> Hello everyone,

LN> A friend asked me to set my XMail server as a backup MX for his domain.

LN> I assume I can set my server to allow relaying if the destination
