Just wondering though, once the backup MX is up and running and the main MX goes down, what solution can we implement to sync the two mail servers once both are running again? Thanks for the article.

It is handy to have the secondary mailer in a different location in case it is you link that goes down. That way, whether it is your machine that died, a dos attack, or you link just dies your mail will continue to queue up in your offsite backup mail server. Depending on the size of your inbound mail every day, a cheap VPS usually will do the trick. If you receive large volumes of mail, you may require the disk space of a dedicated server. Either way, it shouldn't cost much to have the piece of mind that comes with redundancy. Patrick Rokabear Support Consider hosting your backup mail server off site.

Alternatively check the logs of the primary mail server or of the secondary mx for spam or whatever else passing through the machine's exim logs.
