One option available is using a gateway service, where all e-mail to your server flows through a gateway service provider. If your server is up, e-mail is immediately delivered to your server. If your server or connection is down, e-mail is queued pending retries.

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 ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this MSExchange.org Discussion List as: johnlist@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe visit http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Report abuse to info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
