Hello,
I intend to install a backup MX server.
After installation of iredmail, i copied the database vmail from de prodution server to the backup server.
I ran the command : update domain set backupmx = 1;

Is need any further change to serve as a backup mx server? Are there any updated 'how to' on this?
Thank You.

iRedMail doesn't work well when acts as backup mx, because it doesn't delivery accepted mails to primary mx.
A simple solution might be installing Postfix on a fresh server OS as backup MX.
