I think you need to do some reading up on how exchange actually works. You will
set up exchange server 1 to either send straight our to the internet or you can
configure it to send to server 2 and then out through the internet. In case # 2
if server 2 goes down, you need to be able to change the smtp connector/virtual
server to allow server 1 to send the email itself. Your public MX records only
come into play when someone else sends you email.

You set up the MX records with priorities.
The foreign email server will first check to see what mail servers are
serving a particular domain.
The server will get the MX records and their priorities. The server will try
the #1 priority server first.
If that server is not available it will go to #2.
If that is not available, it will wait a prescribed amount of time and
probably try #1 again and then #2 and wait again.
If #2 gets the mail it will notice it does not have the mailbox for that user
and send it on to #1 because it knows that is where the mailbox is.
Larger systems get more complicated with bridgehead servers and lots more
stuff.
It does not sound like your system is that complicated. Just a server and a
second server for backup.
Simple.

I am only familiar with the expensive option (second exchange server
license). You add another exchange server to the organization. Could be the
same site or a different site.
Other less expensive options are also available and probably fairly easy to
do.
No, you would not set up more mailboxes on the second server. That server is
there only to collect mail and send it on to the server that houses the user
mailbox. Yes, you need a second MX record pointing to the second server.
Otherwise no one would know to send mail there if the first server was
unavailable.
Depending on the speed of your connections between the two physical "sites"
you could add it to the Exchange site or to a different Exchange site. The
things to consider there are the type of connectors you would establish between
the sites.
I suggest reading up on Exchange on Microsoft's web site. There are how to
documents on adding servers to organizations and sites.

How does one setup a "catch-all" email system for a domaing?
For example,
Mycompany.com mx1 points to my main exchanger server each person has a mailbox
If I setup and mx2 record pointing to another mail server - do I have to
setup one mailbox/user too? Or is there some sort of setting that just
temporarily stores all emails into one container?
Thanks
Gabriel

(The best way to do it is contact your ISP (or a mail hosting company) and
see if they can setup to catch your mail if your server goes down. Then create
a second or third mx record to point to them. if one or both of your servers
are down mail will be delivered to them then you can configure your server to
collect the mail when you are back up) this is what i want you are right in
need a catch server out there on my isp or host provider how would i setup a
catch server

quote: I would like a server out there to be able to queue the mail
now you want control the servers "out there"?
generally most servers will requeue the mail for anywhere from 6 hours-2 days
(its up to the other mail admin) If your server doesn't come online before
then, generally the user will get a bounce message saying the mail could not be
delivered.
I am assuming you have either only got one server or both are in a the same
site. Chances of both servers going down in your site at once are small, if you
have planned right, redundant power supply's, backup internet connection, more
than one 5 port switch..
The best way to do it is contact your ISP (or a mail hosting company) and see
if they can setup to catch your mail if your server goes down. Then create a
second or third mx record to point to them. if one or both of your servers are
down mail will be delivered to them then you can configure your server to
collect the mail when you are back up.

correct that is a good config how would it work if the backup was in a
different site or org what i am trying to accomplish is if my only server goes
down i would like a server out there to be able to queue the mail and when the
server comes back up the email is sent to the primary or the primary ask for
the email

We have 2 exchange servers in 2 different sites. If one is down, the other
gets mail and keeps it till the first is back up.
It would work the same if you had 2 servers in the same site. They both
need MX records and IP addresses on the internet so other servers can find them.
