How do I configure the backup (secondary ) ISMail EP server to use the main (primary) mail server?
• open the ISMail EP ‘Relay’ configuration page • click ‘Add’ next to ‘This server is a secondary for these hosts’ • enter the host name of the main (‘primary’) server • repeat the steps above for each main (‘primary’) mail server (*)An MX record pointing to the host name of the backup (‘secondary’) mail server, and an A record defining the IP address of the host name of the backup (‘secondary’) mail server must be added to the DNS for the domain name. The priority of the MX record for the secondary should be lower (i.e. numerically higher) than the priority for the primary MX record.
