Re: Backup MX
Does anyone use a Mailbagging / Backup MX service? I was looking at dyndns.org, but I wanted to see if anyone on the list would recommend a provider. I have a combined mail/cf/db server, and I just want to make sure that when it goes down, that I won't lose any of my emails. Website visitors, they can wait, but not e-mail. ;-) Also, if they also do spam and virus filtering, but not really required. Thanks! Have you considered ditching your mail server altogether for a hosted service like Google Apps for your Domain? I'm very happy with that, myself. The Premier Edition provides Postini spam and virus filtering among other things. I ditched my mail server and haven't looked back since.

Re: Backup MX
Thanks Dave. I currently use that for my family's domain, since the standard edition is free. What about for MS Exchange users? I know that they wouldn't like to move away from Exchange's calendar and AD integration. What would you suggest? Dave Watts wrote: Does anyone use a Mailbagging / Backup MX service?

Re: Backup MX
What about for MS Exchange users? I know that they wouldn't like to move away from Exchange's calendar and AD integration. What would you suggest? Well, I think the calendaring functionality of Google Apps is as good as that of Exchange. And it appears as an Exchange server if you're using an ActiveSync client on your Windows Mobile phone. AD integration can be performed using the SSO functionality in Google Apps Premier Edition, if you're using the web interface as opposed to Outlook IMAP. We just migrated from Exchange to Google Apps Premier, and I've been exceptionally happy with the result. We're not doing AD integration, because we're small enough that we can get away without doing it.
