Heres the deal: I have an email server which has an internet IP and a valid domain name. I also have a second box on the same network with a domain name and a real IP. The first box is teh email server for the school. The second box is my private play toy... it acts as my email server and play server. Generally I test everything on box 2 before I go and put it on box 1. We need to bring box 1 down tomarrow for some maitence, and we have no secondary mail server defined..... Small problem? Maybe. Box 1 is running Sendmail and my box, box 2 is running Qmail. Is there anyway to have my box, box 2, Accept all Mail for box 1, queue, don't try to deliver it, then have me manually enter a command to transfer all mail recieved by box 2 back to box 1? Therefore there would only be about 2 minutes of downtime vs about 2 hours? Is this to complex? I plan on changing the ip of box2 to match that of box if this possible! Thanks for the input and advice. ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________ Jonathan A. Kline, A+ <jonathankl at ism-sabis.net> Asst.
