Hi,

I just recently got my server up and running. Now I'm in the need of a backup mail exchange in case my host goes down, etc. Would anybody not on host15 be willing to be a backup MX for me? I would, of course, return the favor in kind. I only have a couple of users, so there would not be much email coming through.

Post a message here or, preferably, email me at jstarks at starksnet dot net.

Regards,
John Starks

You should be very careful of choosing someone to do backup-mx ...

Why ? because they too can read your email ...

You may want to look into commercial providers, DnyDNS.org comes to mind:

also, ZoneEdit does MX Backups as well, and it appears much cheaper than dyndns (11.95 vs. 29.95). I haven't used ZE's backup yet, but will be when I get my domain DNS moved over to them...

The cheapest I've seen so far is even better, only $8/year. Check out http://www.dnsmadeeasy.com/s0306/prod/mailbk.html

Note: I haven't tried it yet. I suffice for mail backup on my home Linux box over DSL. I have a very friendly ISP, thankfully.
