Mercury/32 does not at yet have the capability to perform as a MX server. That said you can setup Mercury/32 to create a domain account that will store mail delivered for a domain and then the primary system can connect via a POP3 type connector (fetchmail, MercuryD) and deliver it to the users. Of course the DNS must be modified to point of the Mercury/32 system as a MX host.
