So, what do you guys think? Is there any point here, or I am just not aware of what else is already available out there?
A backup MX on the same site is pretty useless. But at least it's probably totally under you control and duplicating the policies of the primary.
So, the simple question here is this: Do companies, or ISPs have backup MX servers off line (and off site) just for the purpose of turning them on when the WHOLE site of the primary mail servers go down?
I think a backup MX, duplicating the primary MX, offsite, and off-line until it detects the primary MX is not responding, is the best setup.
