I've got a problem. I want to use two mail servers, the one from the hosting provider(fast) and the one of my own server(slow). I want to use the domains www.domain.com and bak.domain.com. www.domain.com for the fast one and bak.buijze.tk for the slow one.

How do I set up this with directadmin so that it will work.

Hello,

You just want a backup mailserver on your slow system? Then just add another MX entry with a higher number pointing to your slow server...

The slower server of the two will be used for mailinglists purposes. The reason here for is, that i've don't have a bandwidth limit on the slow server, which I do have on the faster of the two.

This is te reason that I want to use the slower for the mailinglists.

Hello,

I think all you can do is create a forwarder to your slower box (using a different hostname)... There isn't any way of redirecting email based on it's recipient name at the dns level. (it only does domains).
