Hi!

I have just set up an backup MX and want to test that it really works.

From what I understand (but I could be wrong), it should be enough by just stopping the qmail services on the primary MX, but I can't figure out how.

On my backup MX, I can just do qmailctl stop (I'm using the qmailrocks version on that one, since I only wanted the MTA, I found that tp be easier.)
But on my primary MX using Mail::Toaster, I don't have that ability.

Is there anyway of turning the mail services completely off without having to power down the server?

Many thanks in advance!
