Heya Swinog We have business customers with an own mailservers asking us to provide a backup MX for their mailserver. Usualy we deny such request, because such a backup MX would bounce all spam which cannot be relayed, and anyway, the sending server usualy queues the email usualy about the same amount of time a backup mx would queue it. So we see not advantage, but a big disatvantage.
Now some of our customers complain that 'all other ISP' offers such services. So I wanted to know your opinions: - Why would business customers _need_ their ISP to operate a backup MX for them? - Why can you avoid the disatvantage to generate a shitload of bounces when operating ab backup MX? - Is it true, that most ISP offer this kind of service?
