Maybe it's just me, but I quite don't understand a couple of things 
below... if you want to resend this message to me in Spanish (that is 
your language, is it?) I can translate it into English and resend it to 
the list. Anyway, I'll give it a try right now.

(if your language is Portuguese, you can still write to me, but I don't 
know if you'll get such a good translation :-)

This is what I don't understand, what do you mean by "standing the 
primary up"?

You should define a "route" in the secondary server to send messages to 
the primary, though if you have the dns well configured, it should also 
work without it.

What is exactly happening? mail from "outside" ends up in the secondary 
and doesn't get relayed? is smtpserver running in the primary?

For a stupid test, try doing a telnet to the port 25 of the primary and 
see if smtpserver answers it.
