Just out of curiosity. Is the correct way to make a IMail backup server
just to set up another machine running Imail, possbily synchronize the
databases on both a couple time/day, and create an mx record with a lower
priority number for the backup machine?? or is there a better way? Also,
how do you make a backup smtp server?
Thanks,
Dan
