Hi all.
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.
