For customers who prefer to host their own email server Manx
Telecom E-Biz now offers Mail Store & Forward.
E-Biz Mail Store & Forward is aimed at any customer, on or
off-Island, who has their own email server; this service provides
automatic queuing of emails if your mail server goes offline for
any reason and when your server is back online any queued emails
are delivered.
Never lose emails again!
When you send an email your mail server uses Domain Name Servers
(DNS) to look up the MX Record to identify where the destination
server is located. Your mail server then attempts to send the email
to that server and if there is no response it will retry a set
number of times before returning the mail back to you as
undeliverable.
How it works
With Store & Forward if the server you are attempting to
send to does not respond then a secondary MX record is used to
direct the email to the E-Biz Store & Forward server. The email
is then queued on our server and when the destination server is
back online it will send a request to Store & Forward server to
send any emails that are queued.
Never lose emails!
Store & Forward means that you will never lose any emails if
your server is offline due to a power outage, equipment failure,
scheduled maintenance or connectivity fault.
