The MX front-end only relieves the concern about mail getting returned. The primary panic and pressure continues to be from the customers who cannot send or receive during the period in which Imail is down. I think it is a good idea to have a warm Imail backup server AND either dual MX front-ends at the same MX-priority level or a warm MX front-end backup server. They always break at 3 am or otherwise at the very worst possible time. LC> [Snip] LC> Len ---- Don Brown - Dallas, Texas USA Internet Concepts, Inc.

I know it shouldn't be accepting mail until called upon, and that's what I'm worried about (that it is). :( Todd -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Len Conrad Sent: Wednesday, December 20, 2006 2:48 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Re[2]: [IMail Forum] Backup Mail Server >Thanks for your comments.

A great combination is IMGate out front catching all the worst stuff and giving in/outbound redunancy and (pre-fetching) DNS, and then the heavey content-filtering (anti-spam/virus from Imail/delclude/assp/sniffer/whatever) on the Imail box. I'm making improvements now to IMGate to add weighted scoring but always in IMGate's original philosophy of doing as much rejecting as possible before the DATA command.
