I am running my own server and wish to have a hot backup server. Here is what I plan to do. I'll have two mail servers with identical setup and a SMTP gateway. When mails coming to my SMTP gateway, the Postfix(or any other MTA) will deliver the exact same email to both email servers. Does anyone know how to have Postfix do that?

Maybe this might help you. I remember reading a blog post about this a while pack. A quick google search shows this.

How would the outside world know about both mailservers? Using two MX entries with different priorities?
Thats the only way that sounds reasonably possible. I mean they could be set the same, but then other conflicts happen.
