RE: Standby Exchange Server
Title: Message
A few
things come to mind: dnscmd, "isalive?" script, interorg sync tool and IMS
forwarding. You might get most of what you want when you are done,
assuming you know what you are doing, but would it be worth the
complexity?
As for the second question,
no.

Yes,
I would like to queue emails destined for the crashed server. Could you
please direct me to info on how to accomplish this? Also is there
any way for my users to read the emails that are queued
there?

Hello Everyone:
I have two exchange servers
geographically separated. I have my main
exchange server (Server MAIN) and a backup server (Server BACKUP). Is it
possible that in the event of my MAIN server crashing, could the BACKUP
server receive my emails?
Note: Both servers are part of separate
domains.
Thanks,

I know we can make second MX records but we are running out of Ips and are more doing it for testing and redundancy plans, albeit who knows where we will use it.

RE: Email sitting in the queues and NDR's being generated
5.5 does not revert to using A records if there is not an mx record present. There is not an mx record for helix.mgh.harvard.edu which is why the mail is sitting in the queue. -Original Message- From: Majetic, John RAME [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, May 13, 2002 10:47 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Email sitting in the queues and NDR's being generated Well doing a telnet helix.mgh.harvard.edu 25 at the dos prompt, does return a 220 message from a sendmail box. However it takes about 30 seconds for that message to come up. It seems way to long to me. I think your server may be timing out waiting for their server to respond with the 220 message. I have looked but cannot see if there is such a time out. Does anyone else know? You could also telnet to there server, and test the connection using the directions in Q153119 to see if the are receiving correctly. Just put something in the message asking the person to respond to your test message. I think it is a problem with their server as well, but will reserve judgment, until after you follow the Q153119 directions to see if you can even send to that box.

One of our consultants is trying to send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] This just sits in the queue and throws back NDR's at the specified intervals until it finally gives up trying.
