That's sort of what I suspected.  I'm considering running
UUCP or
setting up postfix to act in a primary/secondary MX
solution.  It
doesn't look like too difficult of a situation.  I'll be
sure to
document the process.

I've got one last question concerning Kolab with multiple
hosts.  If I
create a new user on either of my Kolab hosts, will that
information
automatically be added to the other server?

Thanks for the response!

Yes, the ldap information will get replicated. There is a
"kolabHomeServer" attribute on each user entry
that is being used to
identify the location of the users mailbox in the multiple
host
situation but the ldap information is available to each
host.
