    (1) Install Exim. You won't regret it.

    # cd /usr/ports/mail/exim
    # make all install clean

    [/etc/mail/mailer.conf]
    sendmail /usr/local/sbin/exim
    send-mail /usr/local/sbin/exim
    mailq /usr/local/sbin/exim

    # /etc/rc.d/sendmail stop

    [/etc/rc.conf]
    sendmail_enable="NONE"
    exim_enable="YES"

    # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/exim.sh start

    (2) Edit /usr/local/etc/exim/configure, find this line, and list the domains
    you wish to allow backup MX for:

    domainlist relay_to_domains = foo.com : bar.com

    (3)
    # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/exim.sh restart

    (4) relax :-)

    Exim is the Swiss-army knife of MTAs. You can easily replace that
    configuration line with a database lookup (so you can act as backup MX for
    tens of thousands of domains), or set it to act as backup MX for anyone who
    lists your server in the DNS as a secondary MX:

    domainlist relay_to_domains = @mx_secondary

    See /usr/local/share/doc/exim/spec.txt for full details.

    Regards,

    Brian.
