Hello.

I hope these aren't silly questions: How does Postfix (2.9.6) determine
whether the local mail system is backup or primary MX when
permit_mx_backup is specified in main.cf?  Is it just MX record
priorities in DNS?

http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#permit_mx_backup
* permit_mx_backup
Permit the request when the local mail system is backup MX for the RCPT
TO domain, ...
<snip>
*Safety: as of Postfix version 2.3, permit_mx_backup no longer accepts
the address when the local mail system is primary MX for the recipient
domain.

Does this mean a MX record pointing to a mail host w/ permit_mx_backup
all that's needed to relay to it?
