You are somewhat correct in that your mail server could be used as a outbound mail
relay.. Meaning.. If he goes down then his users could use you as an SMTP server to
send mail out(allow relaying).. However the check you are doing is apparently
resolving your ip as one of the MX exchangers which means that you are also supposed
to be accepting mail for him.. If that is the case then you need to setup his accounts
so that your mail server will accept his mailboxes.. Then figure out how to push the
mail back to his server when hes back up. Including postmaster.. Hopefully someone
else here can speak up if I am out of line on making all this work seamlessly to the
client.
