How do I go about setting up a MX record such that email to site A is sent to site B but is only queued up instead of being delivered to the users on Site B. Machine A is connected to the Internet via a SLIP line, which goes down whenever I need the phone or need the computer for non-BSD work. Machine B is on the Internet full-time, and is the primary DNS box for my sub-net. I added the MX record to point to machine B which machine A is down, but it was orginally rejecting the email until I modified the sendmail.cf file to accept mail to machine B. However, now it's delivering the email to the users on machine B instead of queing up the email and waiting until machine A is back up, and I can't send email from machine B to A since B knows it's machine A. Is this possible? Since I have access to both machines, I know that I can at least get the mail destined to machine A no matter what if it at least spools on machine B. Thanks in advance, Nate
