I want to install a 2nd server for mail and backup only.

On server 1 I have a couple of website's, because of a improvement at one website (all members should get there own e-mail adress), I want to install a 2nd server.

On the second server I need only http and mail, but for more than one domain/user.

My plan is to install a second server with DA.

But how do I configure server 1, so that the mail is going to server 2?

Thanks!

That worked, but there was more to do so the 2nd (also DA) server would accept the mail.

Server 1:
Change MX record to mail.domain.com.
Change (mail) A record to <ip 2nd server>

Server 2:
Make account domain.com
Make e-mail address
Change /etc/exim.conf file
Search for: hostlist relay_hosts = net-lsearch;/etc/virtual/pophosts : 127.0.0.1

Change to: hostlist relay_hosts = net-lsearch;/etc/virtual/pophosts : 127.0.0.1 : <ip 1th server>

Done :)
