sendmail.cf

we have two mail servers and want to setup failover for DR.

we have a line in sendmail.cf like this

Code:

DS smtp.domain.com

and this works fine......

we changed it to

Code:

DS smtp1.domain.com smtp2.domain.com

this is bad, we get errors of savemail panic and many bounce messages and such. the errors say cont find server smtp1.domain.com.smtp2.domain.com

our two solutions to the problem are

version 1

Code:

DS [smtp1.domain.com] [smtp2.domain.com]

version 2

Code:

DS smtp1.domain.com:smtp2.domain.com

both seem to work but I assume that one is more correct than the other.
looking for some education as to what the diffcence is.

and yes i know i shouldent be messing with the .cf file but that is what the boss hsa demanded.
