I'd be interested in trading Backup MX services. We're in the same boat when it comes to deferred mail, so it makes sense to keep the costs at pretty much 0 by providing the same service to each other for those 'unplanned' outages. I'm thinking we could set up virtual machines with public IP addresses configured to relay mail for each others' domains. Just sign confidentiality agreements all the way around just to keep the peace of mind.
