Hello Everyone,

I would like to setup a temperary sendmail server to hold mail for about four hours while we redo our main mail server. How do I tell sendmail on the secondary server to hold the mail for users that don't exist on the system without bouncing the messages...


Thanks

Jason

Set it up to Relay for the domains, but do NOT set them up as Local.

Afterwards setup that server as the second priority MX on all the domains.

Finally, stop sendmail on the primary server, and watch the mail pile up on the secondary. When you're done updating the primary, turn sendmail on again, and you'll see the email streaming in from the secondary.

Thanks for your help!

Jay.
