Hi, How does XMail go about sending mail to secondary mail servers?
I have some people trying to send mail to a domain that is configured to receive ALL mail to the secondary server (higher mail server priority in MX record), and then their secondary server forwards it to their primary server. Their primary mail server (lower mail server priority) resolves in a DNS lookup, and works some of the time. But I think they take it off line at night-time, and then it does not respond to pings or anything else (a tracert actually enters a never-ending loop, just to complicate matters a little more.) When their primary server is offline, it appears that XMail continues to try to send the mail to their primary server, and bounces it back without trying the secondary server. Are there settings or something I should look at changing to encourage our mail server to attempt to send it to their secondary server if the primary fails? I'm not sure if this is an XMail problem or a DNS issue. Thanks for any help you can provide, Scott - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
