I need some help setting up a secondary mail server. Last night my primary one (and only mail server ) stopped running after I cvsup it to 4.5 release. It was that Amavis Antivirus perl needs /usr/bin/perlsuid to have the special permissions -rwsr-xr-x 3 root wheel /usr/bin/suidperl when its normally -r-xr-xr-x 3 root wheel /usr/bin/suidperl It was the make installworld that caused it. Because it reset the permissions of the file. I am running Qmail / Amavis antivirus. / VMailMgr http://www.vmailmgr.org/ / Omail http://omail.omnis.ch/ I was running on sendmail for the last year but thought I would try a change because I needed an web based user friendly system to have mail administration for other people (Achieved with Omail). I would like some documentation / suggestions on the best secondary mail solution, I have the O'rielly sendmail book but just browsing through it I cant see any section on setting up a secondary mail server. Is it that that you just configure the mail server like you would a primary but have a higher MX preference value and it automagically detects this and sends it to the primary mail server when its backup? I just cant find any infomation about this. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
