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
