Smtp fallback relay
In the event your zimbraMtaRelayHost MTA becomes, unreachable, you can configure Zimbra's MTA to fallback on other MTA machine that can relay messages.
For example:
zmprov gs `zmhostname` | grep zimbraMtaRelayHost
zimbraMtaRelayHost: mta1.domain.com
To add additional MTA's:
postconf -e smtp_fallback_relay="mta2.domain.com:25, mta3.domain.com:25"
zmmtactl restart
If mta1 was unreachable, mta2 and mta3 can be used as backup.
If you want the change to survive upgrades:
1) Add the following to the /opt/zimbra/conf/zmmta.cf file
POSTCONF smtp_fallback_relay LOCAL postfix_smtp_fallback_relay
***I would suggest adding the line underneath "POSTCONF inet_protocols VAR zimbraPostconfProtocol***
2) Add the setting to the localconfig
zmlocalconfig -e postfix_smtp_fallback_relay="mta2.domain.com:25, mta3.domain.com:25"
