Re: secondary mail server vs Backup mail server

So that mean if SBS is down no emails for no one until sbs is up and running,
so the secondary mail server is just a storage where emails will go when it
couldn't contact primary mail server and can only be downloaded through POP3
connector, that means each user account will need to be configured to get
pop3 from mail.secondarymailserver.com??

Also is there any solution where if SBS is down people could still get email
as long as there is interet connection?

The information for the temp or backup server resides in the DNS MX records
you setup with your DNS hosting service. Of course you have to use a mail
server with agreement from whoever owns it (usually your ISP will provide it
if asked). The POP3 connector is configured by running the CEICW, but again
you need to be using a mail server which allows for POP3 download when it is
just storing the mail while your server is down.

Hi Costas
Thank you for the reply. Here is what I need to know: Where do you set up
secondary mail server details, is it just the matter of entering ip
address
of ISP or more setup on SBS? and how do you configure POP3 connector so
that
the clients would get email even sbs is down?

That, more or less, is the same depending on how you set it up.

You can have a secondary mail server (which can be your ISP's mail
server)
that receives the emails when your server is down. In this scenario, you
will have to setup the POP3 connector to download the emails after your
SBS
server goes back online. The advantage to this scenario is that you can
use
an email program to access the emails (at your ISP or wherever the
secondary
mail server is), while the server is down.

A backup mail server is a temporary storage location where the emails are
queued when SBS is down. When SBS is down, the backup mail server knows
to
forward the messages in the queue to the server. The problem with this
scenario is that you can't use a mail program to read the emails while in
the queue.

Hope that clarifies it a bit.

What is the difference between secondary mail server and backup mail
server.
What would be appropriate for SBS03, and what are steps to create one?
Thank you.
