I wonder if someone is interested in an exchange for backup
Mail and DNS service?

Basically, the idea is that someone is a backup mail server
for mine, and I do the same for the other.

On Nov 28, my server will get offline for a few days, that
when I'll need it most. After that, my server will be online
again, and I can provide backup service, too.

My mail server (SIMS, of course) hosts two domains, all of
which are mainly my own accounts, plus a few minimum volume
accounts for a few friends.

And here's one more question about this: I understand that a
simple mail server backup would be done by providing another
MX record in the NS entries for my domains. Additionally, the
backup server has to know my two domains, and put all the mail
into one mailbox.
Now, I wonder this: On my server, a few accounts have special
handling: some are for spam, others even redirect (forward) mails.
These features would not automatically be activated as long
as the backup server would take my mails. So I wonder how I/we
would be solve this: Shall the backup server duplicate all my
accounts and other settings, or is there a simpler way, or
will I have to manually take care of all the forwards etc. once
I poll the mails from that backup server with my mail client?
