Hi,
One option would be to create a CNAME in DNS for your two smtp servers, give
the CNAME something like smtp.mycompany.com and use this alias as the smart
host. You can then round robin between the two servers and provide failover
if one of them goes down.

We are looking at educating users in not storing everything in their email,

When a user delete's items in OL/Exch does the Exchange system log this
action?
Does it log that fact that a user would then empty the deleted items?
Does it log the fact that the items where recovered from the retention?

You have to ask if theres a real business need for what they are doing, and if so you

Give away a generous mailbox quota. Institute a nominal charge for
larger quotas. If a manager has to approve a charge, even a small
