Subject: [exim] configuring backup mx

hi

Need a quick answer to a question related to configuring backup mx for a
domain.

I've added the domain I want to be backup mx for in the "relay_to_domain"
list. And I'm going to add my server as the secondary mx record for that
domain.

What happens when my server tries to deliver the mail to the primary mx
and fails? Will it try to deliver the mail to the secondary (itself), or
will it just fail the delivery and wait for the next retry time?
