Use ispconfig as a backup MX?

Hello,
I would like to setup a backup mx service on my ispconfig 3.2 server. I have read through my manual and have concluded that the way to do this would be the following.
configure email routing
Domain = exampledomain.com
type= smtp
No MX lookup = unchecked
Destination = mail.exampledomain.com
sort by = 5
active = checked

configure Relay recipients
Relay recipient = @exampledomain.com
active = checked

This assumes also that my dns mx Auxiliary Info records are set correctly so that this ispconfig server has a higher AI than the primary mail server at “mail. exampledomain.com”
so is this the right way to go about it?

Cheers

 

Yes, that setup should work.

 

Cool, thanks for the tips.
It works!

 

hi

i have tried exactly what the first poster (vwpete) has written but the server doesn't accept the mails for the backup server (the backup server is NOT managed by ispconfig). i get an
554 5.7.1 XXXX Client host rejected: Access denied
do i need to add the domain also in the "Emails Accounts" -> "Domain" part?

haven't found an explaniation in the ISPConfig 3 Manual (Version 1.3)
