weighting they are assigned. So when someone tries to send you an email. The MX
record that returns for your domain is primarily mail.nlvh.co.uk but if that
one doesn’t respond it will try the next weighted choice which is
mail1.nlvh.co.uk. I just realized that was an answer to a question you didn’t
ask. Damnit, I’ll leave it there for other people tho.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>After my recent email problems receiving email from Freeserve, who
completely deny that they were at fault, I need to setup secondary email
servers.<br>
My current dns is:<br>
<b><span style='font-weight:bold'>mail IN A
195.8.178.184<br>
@ IN MX 5 mail.nlvh.co.uk.<br>
<br>
</span></b>and I want to add a mail server on a second server.<br>
e.g:<br>
<b><span style='font-weight:bold'>mail IN A
195.8.178.184<br>
@ IN MX 5 mail.nlvh.co.uk.<br>
mail1 IN A 82.68.28.34<br>
@ IN MX 10 mail1.nlvh.co.uk.<br>
<br>
</span></b>Can somebody tell me if this is the correct way of doing it and will
it work, assuming that I setup the second mail server as mail1.nlvh.co.uk.<br>
<br>
If this is the correct way, do I need to setup 2 email clients to receive email
from <b><span style='font-weight:bold'>mail.nlvh.co.uk. and mail1.nlvh.co.uk.<br>
<br>
</span></b>If I am completely wrong would somebody give me some pointers in the
right direction.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

PS The Freeserve problem now seems to be resolved. Thanks to everybody who
helped.<br>
