You may just look into getting your exchange hosted if you plan on just supporting 25 users. ________________________________ From: Jabber Wock [mailto:jabberwock99@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, December 06, 2005 6:28 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] Re: Mail Caching for Downtime http://www.MSExchange.org/ 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.

I would like to set up Exchange for about 25 users in a location that encounters a few power outages each winter. They last for a day or so. I have recommended a backup generator which management is considering. However, they have also asked me to look into some sort of backup ISP where the mail could accumulate until the power went back on. What are the various options here? Does one just ask an ISP to handle this? Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Exchange Newsletters: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/newsletter.asp ------------------------------------------------------ Visit TechGenix.com for more information about our other sites: http://www.techgenix.com <http://www.techgenix.com/> ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this MSExchange.org Discussion List as: jabberwock99@xxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe visit http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Report abuse to info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
