What should a system operating as a backup MX do? If my server acts as
a backup MX for my friend's server, and my friend's server is down, then
I have no way of checking whether the local part of received messages is
valid (barring some sort of out-of-band valid-local-part-list-syncing
kludgery).
What do you suggest for this type of situation?
good times,
Vineet
