I am not sure about that with our ISP. But
will the procedures I suggested work? Dan From:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael B. Smith You don't need to move an
Exchange server you just need to have some company act as a secondary
MX (store and forward mail services) for the domain of interest. PROBABLY your bandwidth
provider will do this for you, for free. From:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dan DeStefano I have a question about Exchange
routing. We have 2 Exchange 2000 servers at
our main site, one that holds all the mailboxes and the other currently holds
just a few mailboxes that aren’t being used, but the server is up and
working. Both servers are in the same routing and administrative groups. Both
servers are in the data center of our main site. The problem is that this weekend,
the power will be turned off in our building and our network will be
unavailable as will user’s mailboxes. We currently have no offsite data
replication or So, as a temporary solution, our
current plan is to move the second Ex server to one of our colo sites and add a
lower-priority MX record for it to our public DNS zone. The thinking is that
messages sent to our domain will be sent to the second server at the colo, and
this server will cache all the messages until the main server is back up and
mail can be delivered to it. And, since the mail was received, no senders
should receive NDRs. Then, on Monday, when the power is back, all messages will
be delivered to the main server. Is this plan going to work? If so,
how long will the messages be cached by the second server? How many messages will
it cache (until it fills the drive)? Are these options configurable? Does
anyone see any gotchas or things to consider? Thank you very much. I am a novice
when it comes to Exchange, but trying to change that by studying my MSPress
70-284 text. Besides, I usually do not like to make any major changes to our
mail/AD infrastructure without consulting you guys first. _________________________ Daniel DeStefano |
