This is really off topic I think. You need to be aware that many spam and virus emails tend to arrive via secondary or tertiary MX, so having an incoming route for mail which bypasses any scanning on lower MX records is a bad idea. Store and forward services (lower priority MX's that queue mail and then forward to your primary when it comes back up) are not so bad, but still be aware that they tend to blindly accept all mail so this may be used to bypass certain measures such as IP blacklisting. Much better to have a second identical (in terms of software) box and run both MX's yourself - if you lose your internet connection temporarily legitimate senders will typically queue mail to you for several days anyway. ================================================================= BMRB http://www.bmrb.co.uk _________________________________________________________________ This message (and any attachment) is intended only for the recipient and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
