[PLUG] Backup MX server

[David Barr]

Following!

Something I've thought about for when I have my domain host back under my direct control is acting as a backup MX for friends (and at least one of them returning the favor). My idea is to act as a spooler until the Primary MX is back. I haven't seen much documentation out there about a mail server that just spools messages until the primary MX is back on line, though.

Werner Heisenberg is driving down the autobahn. A police officer pulls
him over. The officer says, "Excuse me, sir, do you know how fast you
were going?"
"No," replies Dr. Heisenberg, "but I know where I am."
