Hi dear every body,
We have two mail servers, one exchange 2000 & other Mdaemon. The second is backup & just acts as a gateway which stores emails of the domain. We need exchange to connect to mdaemon periodically to download its stored mail & dispath them to their mailboxes.

How can we do this & is it possible to use ETRN to do so ?

Thank you in advance,
Mohammadi

I would setup the Mdeamon box as lower priority MX record, then just use it as a gateway to the exchange server. It will then recieve and spool messages till the exchange server comes back up. I used to do something similar with Mdeamon and sendmail. Works great. I am assuming that your users always collect their mail from the exchange server. Mdaemon works quite well as a mail gateway/router.
