i'd be interested to hear one good argument toward why hosting an MX on your ADSL is even a slightly good idea?
See my other mail. Personally I don't see anything wrong with hosting MX on ADSL if it serves you well enough.
Having an address aware backup MX doesn't save bounces. The messages are just bounced earlier, at the backup MX rather than when they can be delivered to the primary MX.having a backup MX that is aware of local-parts saves LOTS of bounces. if you don't undersytand that you shouldn't be allowed to run your own MX in the first place.
Yes... this was a brain dead statement, I have not a clue why I made it.
I accept that secondary MX servers are targetted by spammers but I'd much rather have a bit more spam than risk losing email.great. "i don't care if everyone gets lots of bounces from my mail server, but thats ok because it doesn't affect me."
Well.... looking at my logs I know people aren't getting bounces from my backup mail server at present, and I know that I am writing a router and transport config at the moment so there won't be bounces from backup MX for addresses turned down by the primary. I know then that the connecting host doesn't get a 550, so it looks like the mail was accepted to them, but tbh I don't care about that. - -- Dave Trudgian - Cornish Dave - ---------------------------- [w] www.trudgian.net [e] dave@xxxxxxxxxxxx [j] trudgiad@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAfDEIt+PdOLWW6O4RAl+PAJ9i1zkBcGfD08mF4EjVkxpNsr+MRQCfYong sWRk1FpOrkxBjBF5eFS889E= =b8KQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
