    I got two webservers running OS X Server 10.3.7 and one of them handles all the mail (all standard config). How can i make the second one act as a backup so it cathces the incoming mail if the first is down?

    I know this is done with a backup MX record but i just dont know how to implement it.

    Any suggestions are appriciated.

    From what I know, you just have to add the secondary MX record in your DNS server. Then, configure the backup mx machine as of how you configured your first 1 and you are there.

    Thanks for the replies. The tip about getting help from my ISP is not going to work since i bought myself dedicated bandwith from a backbone and therefore i´m pretty much my own ISP. And since i got two webservers i might just as well run the backup MX on one of them (even if it of course would be better to have the backup MX on a different location, but that´s not an option).

    If anyone has set this up it would be great with some input.
