I know that I can setup different MX records for the mail exchange, but how do I resubmit or fetch the mails to the original mail server automatically, as soon as this server is available again?
If I understand your question, you shouldn't need to do anything other than flush the mail queue (sendmail -q, postfix flush, killall -ALRM qmail-send). The mta should then immediately try to get the mail to the next-higher-precedence MX (which may not necessarily be the most preferred one).
Example: MX 0 mail.abc.com MX 10 mail-backup.abc.com MX 20 mail-backup.otherside.com It would mean, that the mails will come to mail.abc.com, except the server is down (or even overloaded), If so, the next mail server would be used: mail-backup.abc.com, of if the entire site has a problem the mail-backup.otherside.com And there they are !!!! and there they stay !!!! However, the normal user is not checking mail-backup.abc.com or mail-backup.otherside.com Actually, I not even want that the mails on these machines would be sort in into mailboxes for the users, ... it should be just here in a queue to delivery to mail.abc.com as soon as possible. bye Ronald
