For reasons mainly related to spam protection, I no longer use backup
MX servers. My MX servers are hosted by Rackspace, which doesn't lose
power, and which guarantees to replace hardware in an hour (of course
that guarantee isn't worth a crap, but hey . . . bottom line, the
ensemble is a tad more reliable than a box in a Dublin suburb off DSL
:-) )
