| Set up MX records -
|
| domain.com. IN MX 10 pri-mx
| IN MX 20 sec-mx
| pri-mx IN A 10.0.0.1
| sec-mx IN A 10.0.3.1
|
| Then make sure exim / ${mta} on sec-mx relays for your domain (for example,
| relay_domains in exim). Dont treat it as local there though.
I have done that. Since the main server for wananchi.com also relays for
several other domains that we host, this would also require me to specify
these domains for relay, yes?
What would be the difference in handling these domains and the main wananchi.com,
which has our users accounts?
