hi
Webio, I am a little confused by the comment:
"I can't use Backup MX because my main server is not listed as a MX server."....Since I never used SM in a true backup capacity, and only gateway mode(which I now understand.. is not so bright of an idea either... ) I wasn't aware the main server had to be listed in the DNS as MX record. I was just using the I/P address of the main server.... AND more to the point as well.... the back-up AND current gateway servers take the emails and deliver them via internal I/P address
Example:
DNS MX: 122.122.122.122 --->gateway --> 192.168.52.52 --> MainServer
(true the main server has a public address too, but we choose to route the email internally to it). All servers are 14.x
Not arguing... just trying to learn ... {which apparently I have a long way to go :) }
