hi uts3,

It is possible :-

To configure SendMail to use more than one Relay Server, edit the

/etc/mail/sendmail.cf

file and simply specify the hosts separated by a colon with no
spaces. For example:

DShostA:hostB:hostC

SendMail will always try hostA first. If hostA does not respond,
or responds incorrectly, then SendMail will try hostB and then hostC.
