https://www.google.com/search?q=secondary+mail+server+for+cPanel&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 google is your friend (and so is cpanel forum). Did your previous post on the same exact topic in july not answer your question? https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/87251/backup-mx-help#latest
I didn't find an answer last time so was hoping someone has set this up and could advise, it doesn't seem uncommon as people offer this as a service so I'm a bit surprised there is little knowledge on it.
I haven't tried cPanel forums so I might have some luck with that, cheers
Setup MX priority to lower on backup than primary (higher number) in DNS for cpanel MX, and modify EXIM on backup, adding that domain to your relay domainlist. I prefer postfix/opensmtp, so I can't really tell you more on how to setup ETRN or any retry timeout/etc, but I'm sure that's rather well documented elsewhere.
