    Hi all,

    I have received a request from one of my users and it has got me
    stumped since my knowledge of sendmail is very poor. He wants me to
    setup sendmail that if the main relay server does not respond then
    sendmail should use a failover server. Is this possible and if so how
    do I specify to sendmail to use "SERVER2" when "SERVER1" is not
    responding?

    Regards

    Adrian Phipps
