RE: Queueing incoming mail
Ed, That sounds great. Will the IIS SMTP service care about holding mail for that much time before it can be delivered though? Joe Pochedley I like deadlines, cartoonist Scott Adams once said.

Re: Queueing incoming mail
As the DNS is under your control, why not simply setup an IIS server with SMTP service?. Once configured corrrectly, the incoming messages will be stored in the drop directory. Once the Exchange Server is operational simply place all of these files in the Exchange Server IMCDATA pickup directory? Can't see any reason why this wouldn't work and should be failry simply to deploy.

The first thing I'd suggest is talking to your ISP to see if they do mail caching.

RE: Queueing incoming mail
Yes, we control our own DNS records... We actually have two incoming internet connections (for redundancy) with MS's ISA server between our LAN and the Internet on both connections... Both connections are just set up to forward port 25 to our Exchange box, so it's not a problem to just change the forward to: IP address on the ISA box's to point to the queue machine when we take the Exchange box down... We won't need to mess with DNS records and such... Has anyone tried setting up another Exchange (5.5) box to store and forward the incoming SMTP mail (of course the forward part of that would be delayed for a couple days)... If you've done it, does it work OK? Will it hold the messages for more than a few days... One of my cow-workers seems to think that may be a possible solution? Still looking for suggestions...
