Hi Slugs, While on the subject of mail servers... My understanding of mail secondaries is that it's not like DNS servers where you can config a client to access a secondary DNS server if the primary is down. The secondary MX only stores the email until the primary is back up. It then fowards the email to the primary. the clients check with the primary only for their email. Is this correct?
Is there a way to make some sort redundant mail server where you have two setup and the client will respond to either one? or is this clustering? A third question. Is it considered good practice to have your own secondary MX on site if you also look after your own primary MX? Or just let the email queue on sending servers if your primary goes down?
