You can do this easily in sendmail using the "FallbackMX" setting. If a
mail server is trying to deliver to the outside world and can't, it sends
the mail onto the "FallbackMX" server instead. Which I believe is your
scenario exactly.

      Hi,

       

I have two email servers running sendmail and mailscanner. These
are on 2 different DSL links, so if one link goes down then I can
atleast keep getting emails from outside. My question is when the
link 1 is down then sendmail on serevr 1 keeps the outgoing
messages in queue till the link is up again. So in such link outage
condition  this server can forward the queued emails to second
server whose DSL link is active ??

 

I can do this using smarthost in sendmail, but that I have to do
manually, I want to get this auto, plz guide ^Å

 

Regards

Azher
