I've got a linux box that is hosting one of my domains
that I formerly had at another ISP - nice to save the
$30 monthly.
It's also my mail server (qmail). I like it, but
I'm worried about the reliability of my DSL connection
and the times when I need to bring my machine down
for short time periods.
But if any of you are in the same situation we might
be able to help each other out by being each other's
backup MX forwarders? If my system goes down, incoming
mail would queue up on your machine until mine came
up again, and vice versa. I don't know much about
the DNS stuff yet (I'm managing mine through
granitecanyon.com) but wouldn't something like that
make sense? Better redundancy all around, especially
if were using different providers. Is this a good idea?
