  hey,
  I have a few clients who are using SBS2003. For backup purposes i would like
  to enable a secondary mailserver on my own two 'hosting' servers (windows
  2000 en Windows 2003).
  I know i have to enable smtp and add a second MX record in DNS but is there
  anyhing specific i should watch out for?
  i do not want to run into any relaying issues nor do i want to loose any
  mails in case something goes wrong at one of my clients.
  anyone any suggestions/articles/howto's ?
  thanks!
  Johan
