That is done with the MX record in the DNS zone file... say you have server.domain.com zone with two mail servers, one local and one remote backup you would have this in the zone: server A x.x.x.x server MX 50 server.domain.com. server MX 60 backup.otherhost.com. You can have as many as you want... Mail will go to the lowest number MX first then the next and so on until its received by something... Setting up your smpt server is another matter and will depend on what you are using... Good Luck! Kal.
