Hi,
What I have:
I have an Exchange server with an internet connection provided by a 4MPBS
leased line. I also have a separate 8 MBPS ADSL line for contingency
purposes. And another thing I have is a spare PC and licenced version of
Windows XP. You can install an SMTP server on XP as part of IIS (as I am
sure you all know).
Now for the problem:
I had an internet outage and my DNS hostmaster doesn't cache email's for you
when connectivity to your network is down. So emails were bounced back to
senders. This is my fault cos I used to have this service with my previous
ISP. I then moved to a super cheap and "easy to manage your own DNS" DNS
hosting company, but they don't cache emails.
Now for the question:
Can I set up a Windows XP machine, install an SMTP server on it, connect it
to this backup ADSL line, and use it as a backup email server? So what I am
hoping is to be able to configure my zone file to have this WinXP SMTP
server as a lower order MX (say, 30) and if my Exchange server isn't
reachable, then it mail will be sent ot the WinXP SMTP server and queued
ther till my Exchange server comes back online, at which point the emails
will be forarded on. Can I do this?
TIA,
Jarryd |

Hi,
You can use IIS SMTP as a backup if you use a 3rd party tool called ORF.

Sweet, I have Syamantec AV ver. 10 Enterprise Edition. There is a nifty
SMTP proxy server on there. I forgot about it, but your suggestion of ORF
jostled my memory. I'll just load that on a spare box and let it sit there
in case of trouble.
Regards,
Jarryd
