I belive "Relay Domains" is a new feature in the 5.3 betas, and I have been testing it
on 2 servers of my own, using one of the latest releases.
You just have to add the domain you want to act as bacup for in the mail.ini -> Relay
Domains. And don't add in as Local Domains.
And for the domain that need the backup, you have to add you backup server in the mx
record.
I worked fine for me, but I would like to test it for a server outside my lan, so if
some one here have a domain for testing, let me know.
What Sambar version are you using Rodney?
