Also the list server is set to give up after only two days - we have alot of mail that just gums up the works if that number is raised. As for the question in the topic, the way to do this is with MX records. We have the debian domain setup so that murphy is the primary, master is the first backup and va is the third backup. Other hosts should try them all before giving up. Jason -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
