Hello all... I have a multi server setup that i am going to put into production soon. I have 2 webservers(web2 & web3), 1 mysql/DNS(mysql2) server, 1 mail server(mail2) and a secondary mail/DNS(mx2) server Now everything so far is working great... however I am trying to get the secondary MX(mx2) server running postfix to use the DB on the main ispconfig server(web2) to verify incoming emails, for when primary email server is down(mail2). I read a blog about it here... http://blog.schaal-24.de/?p=1973&lang=en Seems pretty straight forward. But now my problem is when i test it out by shutting down postfix on Primary server(mail2) and tailing the mail .log on secondary mx(mx2) I see this error... adamin.com is our test domain and it has the problem...
