This is difficult to automate reliably...

Thank you Victor for all the valuable info. I see.

A question: Could we use the format:

/etc/postfix/transportmap
example.com relay:[mail.example.com], relay:[mail2.example.com]

to force relaying to *both* those servers (mail AND mail2) at the same time? According to the documentation, I don't see that's possible (it seems only one transport:nexthop definition is acceptable), but can we achieve this somehow (except using always_bcc on mail.example.com)?

A second question: Is anyone aware of any (Linux) "smart" script automating (at least to some extent) reliably enough detection of a mail server failure (to avoid re-inventing the wheel), so that we can subsequently switch to a different transportmap?

Thanks again,
Nick
