Afternoon all, I am going through the hoops of upgrading our mail routing infrastructure, and one thing that occurred to me which could be useful would be a delayed delivery host, I suspect there is a sensible name but that is the best I came up with in the spur of the moment.
My thoughts are that since my MXs talk to multiple mail stores locally it could be useful if it were not possible to do a mail delivery immediately because say our Exchange server was unavailable then the mail could automagically be sent onto another host and spool there quite happily. The theory being that once the downed system does come back to life the delayed delivery host can just unload the email at leisure with no adverse performance on the MXs. Anyway I have peered through the Exim manual and may be suffering from wood from the trees syndrome as I cannot see an obvious way to implement this, so it is either ridiculously simple or hard. :) Thoughts are welcome.
