David,

   I've no idea how this works. When Aracnet/SpiritOne was a working ISP I
set a higer MX number for their mail server (white.spiritone.com). Now that
I've escaped their clutches I'd like a new backup.

   When you learn how functioning as a backup MX works please share with us.
No reason why any of us could not return the favor.
