Hank,
on the backup just put the domains in rcpthosts file NOT in locals and NOT in
virtualdomains
this will effectively configure the backup mail server to accept mail and try to
deliver it to the primary.
Make sure your dns records are correct.
you don't need qmail-pop3d on the secondary because it won't store mail you only need
the qmail process
and the qmail-smtpd process
Thats all it's that simple
Who ever said that configuring qmail was difficult?
