Hi
Thinking of changing from pop3 to SMTP however i am a bit concerned
about potential bouncing emails
We connect to the internet using ADSL which is (in this part of the
UK) does not have 100% uptime which is the main reason for using pop3
as if the ADSL or SBS goes off the incoming mail will bounce. Just
wondering how other users avoid this, could I create a backup email
server at a different location (we have another office) which could
collect the mail should the ADSL in the main office go down then relay
it to the exchange server when it returns?

Any thoughts?
Thanks
Mal
