Hi all,
Trying to get a secondary mail server up and running... I keep loosing my high speed link and want to use my work network as a failover.
I have searched everywhere to find a simple answer to how to setup a secondary mail server. All I want is to queue messages until my primary is up, should it ever fail. I got the DNS part just fine with the MXs. I set up debian on an old laptop at my office. There are no users cept the defaults set up. Is there one line or set of lines in sendmail that defines that the laptop will simply store and forward mail? I am trying to avoid keeping an open relay, as well (just spent the last four days finally figuring out SMTP AUTH on my primary due to a spammer).
Any help would be appreciated.
