Frederic,
If you simply put in an MX record in the domain for the replacement =
mail machine with a priority number higher than the one for your main =
machine, it will recieve all the mail for that machine when it is down =
and will dutifully relay it when the system comes back up.
=20
Ah... the rightful use of mail relays! (and how it has been abused =
in these recent days by spammers).
