Hello All, Does anyone know of a service that you can sign up for to add as a secondary MX to act as a mail queue if your primary MX isn't available? I'm going to be doing a mail migration and I need a service to point my MX record to that isn't my mail provider. I'll spare the details as to why it needs to be different provider. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank You, Mike

Here is one that I have heard of in the past: http://www.junkemailfilter.com/spam/free_mx_backup_service.html I have never used it though. -Tony

How long will your server be down? Backup MX without a user list is a Bad Thing because of blowback. And I'll stop there before someone tells me I'm off-topic. :) -- TTFN, patrick

And are you sure that your users are comfortable with their email being held by a third party that they don't know?

And we are. Inet Access or mailops would probably be better. -- D'Arcy J.M. Cain <darcy@druid.net> | Democracy is three wolves http://www.druid.net/darcy/ | and a sheep voting on +1 416 425 1212 (DoD#0082) (eNTP) | what's for dinner.
