Sorry, brain working faster than hands.  I should have mentioned that I'm
going to have the MX records as follows:
mail.mycompany.com x.x.x.x cost=10
mail2.mycompany.com y.y.y.y cost=20

Backup MX Record for Alternate Exchange 5.5 Server

2002-07-18 Thread Rob Berger

How long will mail be attempted to be delivered to mail.mycompany.com
before it is automatically sent to mail2.mycompany.com instead?  Is this
something that I can control or does it depend on the sender's mail
server?

If either mail.mycompany.com or its Internet connection is down, I'd like
all mail to go to mail2 instead.  I'll handle the redirecting/delivery of
mail from mail2 myself.

Thanks,
Rob
