You got it. That is what I want to do. I only want to do backup mx service
for him. Am using version 5.2. The option is there. I tried a beta before on
the production server and swore I'd never do that again. :)
Let me ask you something. Do you have "require auth" enabled on these test
machines? Just curious.
Highest Regards,

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.
