This will make mailers try to deliver to 'mail' first; if that fails,
they'll try to deliver to 'mail1'. 'mail1' needs to be configured to
*relay* for the domain in question rather than to have it as a local
domain, and will then hand messages on to 'mail' when it can.

Hope this helps,

James

Perl is designed to give you several ways to do anything, so
consider picking the most readable one.
