You need to do 2 things...
First, create an MX record for the Linux box that has a lower priority than
that of the NT box.
Second, tell the linux box that it is OK to accept mail bound for the NT
box. I do not know postfix, so I cannot give you the specifics on how to do
that, sorry.

Subject: How can I use Postfixas a backup for an NT MTA?
Howdy,
My boss wants to use our main /Linux/ server as a backup MTA for our main
mailserver, which sadly is running NT.
Our Linux server is RH 6.2, running postfix - very successfully, too. Only
problem is I have no idea how to do this in any operating system - In fact
I've never really dealt with NT mail.
To clarify things, what we're really needing is a backup for SMTP service.
The pop3 users can "just sit on it" if they can't check their mail for a
minute, but we can't have our incoming mail lost in cyberspace. I'd be
curious to know if backing up pop3 is even possible - I don't quite see how
it could be, short of running the whole outfit as a virtual server (which we
hope to try someday).
Any ideas, advice and opinions or instructions would be greatly appreciated
:-)
TIA,
Jonathan Wilson
