[SOLVED] newbie Q mail retention

[ukro]

Greetings,
I'm planing to put PMG to one of two proxmox servers, but i would like to ask.
If one proxmox server with email server is offline, does the second one proxmox server with PGM hold the delivered emails and when first proxmox server comes online it will download from PGM?

-Thank you.

As long as your PMG is online when one of your proxmox servers is down, it will retain and deliver all the incoming mails until your backend email servers is up.

Omg thank you! This should be a mentioned feature!

we'll consider it - but actually this is just how SMTP works - most/all servers queue mail and retry delivery for a rather long while (default in PMG is 5 days) - so it's more a "feature" of e-mail

i have some limited understanding about proxies and how they operate, as i have experience only with regular mail server. From the word proxy it should mean that only relay not store and then send. But it is awesome that it can do it. Looking forward for this weekend to install it. PMG FTW!
