| Can anyone help me figure out how to setup mail spooling
for an outside agency? I do outsourced maintenance for an
organization that has an Exchange 2000 Server. When their
internet connection goes down, they get all of their
inbound email bounced back to the sender. As I understand
it, there is a way for another server outside that
organization to act as a mail spooler that catches and
stores all of this mail until their internet connection
comes back up. Any help would be great!!!
Thanks

| Well, you could ask their ISP to create another MX record for that zone, and
give it a lower priority...
Usually the ISP's email server would keep the mail for 48 hours...

| Their ISP does not host their email. They host their own
email, while another organization hosts their DNS. But,
if I understand your message correctly, their DNS hosting
service can add an additional MX record with a lower
prioroty, and anything that can't be delivered to the
higher prioroty record would be dumped into that servers
queue?

| I have a similar setup. My domain hosting company has 2 MX records for my
mail. The main MX record with higher priority (i.e. 'Send here first')
points to my system. The secondary MX record with lower priority (i.e.
'Send to me if the first isn't available) point to an external mail server.
If my server is down I can retrieve the emails from the external server with
a POP3 connector.
Speak with the company that handles the DNS and ask them to add a lower
priority record to another server that will accept the mail if the primary
is down.
Hth,
Stuart.
