two mail servers get same mail

As far as having things delivered to both of them, you can't. It won't work that way, the MX records that direct the traffic will only go to the 2nd server if the first is unavailable. The only possibility I can see would be to cluster the 2 servers, and I won't even promise you that you can set up a cluster effectively across that kind of space. We use Lotus Notes, and just replicate what we need across to our other offices every 15 minutes, not quite live but adequate.

Hope this helps

I'm not real clear on what you're trying to accomplish. If you're just trying to mirror one mailbox, or a few mailboxes, you could set up a custom recipient as an alternate recipient on the other server.

The other approach would be to make a public folder which would receive the mail and then replicate to the other server(if you choose the Always option for replication frequency, it will replicate every 15 minutes).

And perhaps a third option would be to set up a rule to forward all mailfrom a mailbox on one server to a mailbox on the other server.

Generally I like the public folders option the best, but your specific business requirements might make one of the other options better for your circumstance.
