If you only have one mail server, and it goes down, mail goes no where or just sits in the other queue. With a second server doing store/forward, you can accept the mail into your own queue and then have it do agressive retries to mail is only delayed as long as the primary server is offline.
My understanding of it is a bit vague, but from what I can gather...
I kinda like this idea. Although HEAnet do store and forward for us (or DCU.. or somebody), this doesn't help us for inbound mail over IPv6 (as I understand it).
Deathray + cynic in this sort of setup perhaps?
That makes sense, send out going mail on these, and have them store the incoming mail until it can be delivered to carbon. -- Andrew Harford System Administrator, DCU Networking Society Ordinary Member, Societies & Publications Committee Sorry Meg.
