Can I specify two Mail Servers in Mail Server Settings?

[EINN]

I have two Mail Servers and if one go down the other takes over.
The do not have the same IP or name in DNS.
This works fine exept in ColdFusion Administrator It's only possible to
specify one mail server.

Is there any way to specify two mail servers?

You should be able to set the settings in the cfmail tag.

Server option cfmail tag

server
Optional

SMTP server address, or (Enterprise edition only) a comma-delimited
list of server addresses, to use for sending messages. At least one server
must be specified here or in the ColdFusion MX Administrator. A value here
overrides the Administrator. A value that includes a port specification
overrides the port attribute. See the Usage section for details.

Ok, so it is only possible in the Enterprise version.
But does it send to all servers specifyed?

What I need is:
-to be able to specify 2 servers.
-if the first one succseed to send the seccond is not used.

Note: If you specify multiple mail servers in ColdFusion MX Standard, the
cfmail tag uses only the first server in the specification. ColdFusion logs
a warning message to the mail log file and ignores the additional servers.

For each server, you can optionally specify a username, password, and port.
These values override the corresponding attributes, if any. The server
attribute has the following format:

[user:password@]server[:port],[user:password@]server[:port],....
For example, the following line specifies one server, mail.myco.com that
uses the default port and no user or password, and a second server with a
user, password, and specific port:

server=mail.myco.com,mail_admin:adm2qzf@mail2.myco .com:24
When you specify multiple mail servers in ColdFusion Enterprise, ColdFusion
tries the available servers in the order they are listed until it connects
to a server. ColdFusion does not try to connect to a server that was
unavailable in the last 60 seconds.
