Hi All,

I have just setup a backup MX

My DNS entries are

10 mail.domain.com
20 mail2.domain.com

My main.cf on the mail2 is as follows

relay_domains =   domain.com, $mydestination
relay_recipient_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/relay_recipients

I'm now testing out the testing out taking down postfix on the mail.domain.com and it do get queued on the 2nd, but i see on mail.log that mail2 tries to connect to itself as well Oct 31 18:16:32 fs2 postfix/smtp[7557]: connect to mail.domain.com[xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]:25: Connection refused Oct 31 18:16:32 fs2 postfix/smtpd[7551]: disconnect from snt0-omc2-s7.snt0.hotmail.com[65.55.90.82] Oct 31 18:16:53 fs2 postfix/smtp[7557]: connect to mail2.domain.com[xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]:25: Connection timed out Oct 31 18:16:53 fs2 postfix/smtp[7557]: 466AB26C0114: to=<u...@domain.com>, relay=none, delay=23, delays=1.9/0.01/21/0, dsn=4.4.1, status=deferred (connect to mail2.domain.com[xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]:25: Connection timed out)

Is this a normal behaviour?
