I just suffered an outage to my home Inernet server that looked like it was going to last for a week or so, and started to scramble to figure out how to set something up so that my home mail server (which could reach the Internet via a cell card) could receive e-mail. The phone company surprised me by showing up thursday when they scheduled for saturday, so the issue became less pressing, but I want to get this figured out and documented for the next time I have an issue.
Several years ago I setup a non-profit with a dial-up internet connection and had the e-mail server connect out via UUCP to a server with full-time connectivity for the e-mail delivery, and that worked well. so can anyone point me at a document for how to configure inbound e-mail connectivity to a site that has intermittent Internet access from unpredictable addresses? Is there a better way to do this than the UUCP approach I used in the past? I can configure whatever I need on a server with full time access to serve as a relay point for the mail (if needed I can get a EC2 host for a short time as needed). I want this to be able to handle all the e-mail for a domain, and store the mail on the disconnected network (so things like 'use gmail' or 'use fastmail.fm' are not good options) David Lang _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
