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!
