Ensuring email delivery using store and forward

November 13th, 2007 · No Comments

Email usually gets delivered direct to our domain. If, for whatever reason, email cannot be delivered to our mail responder then historically it is automatically forwarded to a backup Google account we have. This has worked ok but has always required manual intervention to send emails to the correct destination.

A solution to this has been to implement a Store and Forward email service as a secondary email responder. This is achieved by subscribing to a store and forward service provider then defining additional DNS MX records pointing to a suitable Store and Forward server. We have opted to use the Myriad Network for our solution and it gives the following benefits for a reasonable annual price:

  • Retry mail every 15 minutes
  • Stores mail for up to 30 days
  • Secondary server for backup continuity
  • 4Gb Storage Space

Backup SMTP
