Cool. Thank you for the pointer. I have to do more reading, but from first
glance, I guess the idea would be to use this milter on the backup MX server.
So for example, I would install milter-bcc to the backup MX server so that
any mail in the queue is bcc-ed to my other mail account (which would be sent
directly if the other mail account server is responding). Am I anywhere
close?
Thank you.
