You don't need a backup MX. IIRC, the default retry interval for every *nix MTA in default configuration is _3-5 days_. Do you foresee your server being down more than 3-5 days at a time? If not, you don't need a backup MX. I've been running a home vanity domain MX box for 8 years and never lost a mail through two moves, one within the city lasting 8 hours, the other between cities lasting almost 2 days. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
