Re: Mail queued for days? said by Guspaz:What if the destination server suffers a two hour downtime? Mail server redundancy is a pretty basic commodity these days. This can encompass everything from basic backup MX capability to replicated filesystems with DNS-based failover. Even the free providers offer this level of redundancy. For the hobbyist there are offerings like »www.rollernet.us/ who will provide free backup MX service.
said by Guspaz:Should the message bounce immediately, or provide a warning immediately and deliver it two hours later when the server is back up? Boucing the message tends to provide the clearest result, as users tend to resend on any kind of warning anyway. |
