I'll be migrating our Exim mail server soon to another IP address, so I'm setting up a second MX server to relay to it and essentially do a store-and-forward sort of methodology. Ultimately, I'm setting up the new Exim server to smarthost everything to the new server and accept no local mail. Also, I'm telling it to relay mail for the domains that the primary MX is responsible for. That way, it will accept mail from anywhere, destined to those domains and if the primary server (the smarthost) isn't available, it'll wait until it is. I'll set the timeouts on bounces and such really long, but you should pick something appropriate to how long you're willing to buffer email during an outage. Hope that helps. What you're really looking for is a secondary MX guide more than an Exim guide. I find the Exim documentation on their site incredibly helpful when I need to get into things, but the options I'm talking about above are relatively simple ones to find/adjust. -N _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
