  • Postfix SMTP relay server in master-slave or master-master mode for load-balancing

    Posted on

    Our Customer have MS Exchange as mail server and using sendmail on rhel5.2 as smtp relay server.

    We are planning to upgrade the systems to RHEL6.x and need 2 or multiple smtp relay servers in either master-slave or master-master (for load-balancing).

    I think postfix smtp relay would be better option but not sure about master-slave or master-master smtp relay configuration.

    Is smtp fall_back going to be helpful ? What would be configuration if

    My mail server hostname is ----->> mail.example.com
    My postfix smtp relay hostnames are ----->> relay1.example.com and relay2.example.com

    Do I need to do anything at DNS side ?

    Thanks in advanced for reply or update on this
