| Just to clarify here.... You are talking about doing something like: | | domain.com 1200 IN MX 10 smtp-1.domain.com | domain.com 1200 IN MX 50 smtp-2.domain.com | | You all are saying that most of the spam should be coming in MX 50 right? | | I have to admit I've tried this, but it seems like mail continues to | come into the MX 50 even when the primary servers are available. Is | it not correct that the 50 should NOT be tried until the 10 is | unavailable? Or do I have that backwards?
You have it right. Unfortunately, mail still hits the lowest priority server based on my experience even when the Primary is up and running. QQQQ
