Secondary MX

Post by kakueh »

Dear all,

I have an secondary MX to my mail Mail server. The thing is that I see alot of queues on the incoming and outgoing logs of rollernet. The thing that puzzles me is that my main email server is working at the moment. what could explain this? Thanks.

Regards,
Kueh.

It's possible for other mail servers to use other MX records if the one it tried first didn't respond fast enough, even if it is working. Some spam and virus sources will also try to send to every MX record hoping that one of them won't reject the message. This is normal.
