Hi, What you need is a secondary mailserver, located at a geographically different place. The secondary mailserver does not have to be an Exchange server, it can be a plain Linux server for what you describe and very inexpensive. Once the secondary mailserver is established and configured you point your DNS MX zone file to it as a secondary. If you need assistance in setting up a seconadr MX server contact me off line and I can assist.
