Assuming that you mean as Kolab Server for email.
A secondary Email host, aka DNS MX entry, should ideally
have a replicated ldap contents to directly bounce email
that the primary Kolab Server would also bounce.

One example is an non-existing user.
The primary Kolab Server will bounce such emails in the standard
configuration as it looks them up in the directory service.
If you secondary server accepts them and then later tries
to forward them when the primary becomes available again,
you might get into difficulties.
