No diesel, just an inexpensive battery UPS. Only good for about a 15 minute outage. But, note that server unavailability doesn't bounce mail unless it continues for a long time. > and if it's not, quietly enjoy your server but don't tell people to do > the same ;), because their admin skills might not be as good as yours, > and a haywire mail server can cause headaches all over the net... Agreed. I'm not telling anyone to do it. In fact, I would advise most people not to. It can be a hassle to maintain. I recently had a problem with Time Warner. They were blocking mail from *all* home DSL addresses. I got that straightened out, but have since become sensitive to this kind of blanket treatment. Punish me (if you must) for what I do, not for my connection protocol. Regards, -- Jack O'Quin Austin, Texas, USA
