Configure postfix as a backup for Exchange

Problem:

  • I want to use postfix on a virtual server as a backup incase my Exchange is down. Postfix should accept every mail and deliver it to the Exchange server instantly or wait until the Exchange server is available.

Requirements:

  • Existing postfix installation
  • Existing Exchange installation

  • Login to your virtual server via ssh.

  • Create and open the file /etc/postfix/transport
  • Insert
    domain.com smtp:exchangehost.name
  • Run
    postmap /etc/postfix/transport

—-

  • Edit /etc/postfix/main.cf
  • Insert
    relay_domains = domain.com
  • Run
    /etc/init.d/postfix reload
