[TriLUG] OT: DSL for SOHO in Chapel Hill

[Jim Ray]

Pardon my ignorance.  When you set up mx1.* and mx2.*, will each of the two
redundant mail servers chuck the data into a common black box possibly on a
third local area network server such that end users keep on using IMAP or
POP3 without changing any end user settings upon front end server failure?

When you setup a mail server to act as a secondary you basically just turn
on relaying for that domain.  Mail for the domain then comes in to the
Secondary server and is accepted.  That server then continuously tries to
deliver the cached mail to the Primary (well every 4 hours).
