If the low MX cannot be reach it will be automatically start sending all the
E-mails to the next lowest MX.  DNS will take care of that.

Subject: Backup Mail Server



I'm running FreeBSD4.0 and am using it as a primary mail server for one
domain.  I'd like to also use it as a secondary mail server for a
different domain.  I've already added a new MX record with a lower
priority pointing to my FreeBSD server.

What do I need to do to the FreeBSD server to get it to hold mail for a
different domain in the event of the other domains primary mail server
going down?  (I presume when the primary server returns,  the FreeBSD
server will start relaying all "held" mail to the primary)

Thanks!
