[brlug-general] Backup mail hosts?

[-ray]

What about Google Apps for your domain?  Set your MX to google, then 
forward it all back to your real mail server.  You'd get google spam 
filtering to boot.

And the cost is just right!  Of course you and all your employees will 
have to get their google implant chip installed first, but i think the 
self-install kit will be shipping soon.
