adding custom header on all outgoing mail
Is there a way I can add a header item to all outgoing mail?

Mail goes to MX record that it shouldn't..
I am running Slackware 12.0 sendmail 8.14.1 on two servers 'mail1' and 'mail2'. My intention was that 'mail2' would be a backup server for 'mail1' that should only get mail sent to it if the primary mail server 'mail1' was down. So I have 2 MX records my DNS configuration: IN MX 1 mail1.mydomain. ... 22 Jun 2008 23:26
