Subject: [Exim] Backup Mail Server
Hello,

There is a question whose answer has evaded me for long enough. Let me
take a plunge with it.

For the domain wananchi.com, I have 3 mail servers but I intend to have one
of those to be a backup MX.

How do I configure Exim for that role? So that this server accepts mail for
the domain when the main one is unavailable, and avail those messages when
the main one comes up. It's this concept of backup MX that I've not quite
understood.


Thanks in advance.

-Wash
