Re: multiple mail servers

[Aly Dharshi <aly dharshi uleth ca>]

Hello,

	As mentioned you have to define mail server. You may find it useful to setup 2 
machines say running RedHat Linux and your favourite mail server. Set them to 
accept mail for the domains you host and they in turn forward mail to the 
correct server internal to your network. These are relay mail servers.

	You could give these 2 machines the same MX level and they will be tried in 
random. This will benefit you in terms of incoming mail load balancing. You 
could also have antivirus and spam control measures on these machines.
	
	If you are running pop/imap, depending on the size of your system/network/user 
base you can setup 1 or more servers. You could use the Linux virtual server 
software to sort these sort of problems for such services. Further to that you 
will have to provide us with more information to help you in specific areas. HTH.

	Cheers,

	Aly.
