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.

NAME
asadmin-stop-domain, stop-domain - stops the given domain SYNOPSIS
stop-domain [--domaindir install_dir/domains][--terse=false] [--echo=false] [domain_name] stop-domain stops the specified domain. If there is only one domain in the default domain directory (install_dir/domains), then no operand is required to stop the domain. However, if there is more than one domain, the domain operand must be specified. This command is supported in local mode only. OPTIONS
--domaindir directory where the domain is to be stopped. If specified, path must be accessible in the filesystem. If not speci- fied, the domainis stopped in the default install_dir/domains directory. --terse indicates that any output data must be very concise, typically avoiding human-friendly sentences and favoring well- formatted data for consumption by a script. Default is false. --echo setting to true will echo the command line statement on the standard output. Default is false. OPERANDS
domain_name name of the domain. Must be a unique name. Example 1: Using stop-domain asadmin> stop-domain sampleDomain Stoping Domain sampleDomain, please wait Domain sampleDomain stopped Command stop-domain executed successfully Where: the sampleDomain domain in the default domains directory is stopped. EXIT STATUS
0 command executed successfully 1 error in executing the command asadmin-create-domain(1AS), asadmin-delete-domain(1AS), asadmin-start-domain(1AS), asadmin-list-domains(1AS) J2EE 1.4 SDK March 2004 asadmin-stop-domain(1AS)
