mail exchanger needed (fwd)

Wed May 22 20:47:39 EDT 2002

Hi,

     All configured at this end.  Point your MX record to 
speakup.octothorp.org 63.224.68.1.  Make it's number higher than yours.  
That way, if you're down it will come hear.  Add a bootup script that 
says: 
"fetchmail -p etrn --fetchdomains anomaly.2y.net speakup.octothorp.org"
When you boot, your machine will grab mail that has been queued up here 
and deliver it locally.  I see no reason why we shouldn't leave things 
this way even after Saturday.  Backup mailservers are a good thing.

          HTH.
          Bill
