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. (?)
assuming the secondary is also running qmail, edit /var/qmail/control/
smtproutes and add the following line:
:primary.mail.server
this tells your secondary server to route all outgoing mail through
the primary. since your secondary should not normally receive any
mail, this shouldn't be a problem.
on the secondary, make sure each of the appropriate domains are in /
var/qmail/control/rcpthosts but *not* in /var/qmail/control/locals or
/var/qmail/control/virtualdomains (since you want the secondary to
accept the mail, but not to attempt to deliver it locally, but rather
to route it all on to the primary.
since you'll want your messages to stick around in the queue, create
the file /var/qmail/control/queuelifetime and put the message
lifetime in seconds in it, as described here:

i think this will do it for you. does this look good, folks?
