Re: [PLUG] Secondary e-mail service

[epike@isinet.com]

ok this is a wild guess...if this wont work will somebody tell me
why..

1. set up a linux box as a secondary mail exchanger (dns)
2. set up relaying to allow emails directed to the site 
   (/etc/mail/access ? )
3. set up sendmail to route mail to the original incoming mail server
   ("smart host" sendmail.cf's  DS flag)
