Hello,
we use Mercury/32 als Server for our domain. The MX points to our Mercury.
We have a branch office, which is connected via a vpn connection over DSL to our network. At the moment, all mail traffic goes to our Mercury, which delivers the mail. What we like to do is setting up an extra Mailserver in the branch office, so that they can use that 2nd server as a local server and any outgoing mails from the branch office should be forwarded by that 2nd server and the 2nd server should also pull incoming mail from server 1 and distribute that mail than in the branch office.
All users have the same domain part in their address, there should be no subdomain in the mail address.
How can we set this up, so that from both servers, all users of the domain can be reached?
1. Set all users on the primary Mercury system and then have the secondary system pull the mail via MercuryD from the primary. The secondary Mercury should setup a domain like sec.domain.com and alias all users to that domain so that the local mail stays local. They still will use the user@domain.com when sending the mail. MercuryD will use the address user@sec.domain.com when delivering the mail to the local user.
2. Setup the Secondary Mercury so send using MercuryC and use the primary MercuryS as the relay host.
There are other methods that can be used as well but this is the simplest and most reliable since it is a pull system. You might want to checkout the use of Petr Jaklin's daemon for redirecting mail if the secondary system is connected full time.
Thanks in advance for any hints
