A few weeks ago, i had also the idea to setup a second mail server as backup mx server.
I realized, that this solution has only one benefit: Incoming mails will be collected
until the main server is back. Usually a sending server will try to send the mails for at
least a day or two if the main server is not available. So, make this really sense?
The customers on the other end have no benefits of the backup mx server: No sending Mail
is possible and webmail is not available.
Now i installed a second server in my office. This is a 1:1 Copy of the main server. All
data will be synchronized every 2 hours.
What software do you use for synchronization? I have been testing "MirrorFolder" by www.techsoftpl.com ($39 for one license), I am not finished with the testing.
Since Imail is heavily relying on the Windows registry, how do you mirror that? Or you are mirroring the whole system drive?
