Yep. Normally between midnight and about 4:30 am. That is a blessing - I don't require much sleep.

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?

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..

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.
