The question is which ISP is really able to provide a proper backup MX with a recent RCPT list to not become backscatter and how integrate a spamfilter in this concept because if spammers realize that the backup MX is more open they use it - I saw solutions where the backup MX rejects anything as long the primary is up - depending on the source route that may not be the same view as for the rest of the world
in general my experience with ISP's is do not let them touch anything from your infrastructure besides the WAN link and honestly be happy if they manage this without burning down your life energy again and again :-) -------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Harald Leithner <[email protected]> Gesendet: Tue Dec 03 11:14:27 MEZ 2013 An: DBMail mailinglist <[email protected]> Betreff: Re: [Dbmail] Fetch mails from remote imap server and store/deliver locally The common way doing this is to let the ISP be your Backup MX and you local site is the primary, so if the connection fails your ISP holds the message till its delivered or dropped after 7 days (common value I think). Alternative it would be better to use pop3 for fetching new mails.
