ALTERNATE SERVER

[H JUNIOR <sw...@hotmail.com>]

I'd like to know if is possible to user James as Backup Mail Server ?

I have a Exchange server running in a production server, if my link down all emails to our domain will be lost.
I've registered my James server as secondary mail server ( MX record in DNS), and when my link stops all messages are redirected to James, but I don't know how to re-send the messages to the primary MX (Exchange ).

Someone already did this ?

Tks 4 all.

What you'll want to do is setup James to do remove delivery via a gateway,
and probably set your timeout and retry settings way up.  Go to the
RemoteDelivery mailet configuration, and add a
<gateway>mymainserver.domain.com</gateway>.  This is a domain name or IP
address, not necessarily the domain name for the MX record.  James will then
try to send all messages to this mail server.  In your case, James will
receive messages ultimately intended for your primary mail server, and so if
it does ever get a message, it will try to deliver it to that primary mail
server.
