I've been sifting through the mailing list database trying to find answers
to my question below with not too much luck.

As it stands all the dns records for the domains hosted on web1 have a
listing for mx1 and mx2. As i found out last night when MX1 went down all
mail traffic was rerouted to MX2 for queue (which is a good thing). What i
noticed is that emails now being sent to MX2 were being returned with an
error stating that the user for domain1 does not exist (bad thing).

I was under the assumption that if i were to compile sendmail with
'mailertable' support and include in /etc/mail/mailertable:

domain1.com        smtp:[MX1]
domain2.com        smtp:[MX1]
...

it would queue all mail while MX1 is down and relay all mail when MX1 is up.
No? can someone please help me out?

Thanks,
Ryan
