How does the backup know what server to forward the mail to?
And how to configure it to do so?
Hope i didn't miss the answer, I seem to have missed a couple of weeks
of the list... Had to re-subscribe last night.
Thanks!

Subject: Re: [qmailtoaster] Back UP MX
I run a backup mail server for a few domains using the qmailtoaster
software. The way I set it up is very simple.
Step 1: make sure dns records have your server as backup mx, for example
domain.com. IN MX 10 mail.domain.com.
domain.com. IN MX 20 backup.mydomain.com.
Step 2: I add the name of the domain into /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts
and type 'service qmail restart'
Step 3: There is no step 3, it just works.
Thanks,
Erik

Wow. This could be useful very shortly. My main server is in Miami, with
my backup (web server) in Ft Lauderdale. I'm about to try setting up my
server to also do backup on the mail. It all looks clear, except how to
tell it (the backup mail server) to deliver it all to the primary mail
server. (?)
Thanks!
