[ExchangeList] Re: exchange 200 2003

what i was thinking is server1 and server 2 in the same site diffrent
buildings have server 2 virtual server send all emails to server one
have server1 as a smarthost entry in server 2 entry if server 2 becomes
primary when server 1 goes down then undo the smarthost entry i think
that is what you saying too

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

        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.
