The two reasons this isn't a standard offering are that policies for
filtering mail differ widely. If a secondary accepts all mail for your
primary, then your primary returns and now refuses mail the secondary has
to bounce it (if they don't accept it in the first place their policy has
to agree with your filtering policy).
The second reason is that sending servers will queue mail for a period of
time, often 3-7 days, lists may have a shorter policy. If your receiving
server is down longer then 3 days, you probably should not run your own
mail server.
Jason,
Thanks for explaining. The longest outage I've had here has been about 24
hours in the February 1996 ice storm.
So, I'll withdraw my request.
Regards,
Rich
