All,
We
are moving forward with our move from mail.msu.edu to an in-house Exchange
installation. During the most recent Q&A session I suggested that we
leave everyone’s address as the standard @msu.edu address and just
forward it into Exchange to make it easy if you ever leave our unit and also to
keep from having to update distribution lists with new email addresses.
One person asked about what happens
when mail.msu.edu has another hiccup like the one that happened a couple weeks
back where mail clients and the web interface were both offline. Would
mail still forward on?
My best recollection was that
messages weren’t bouncing and were just queuing on the servers but we
couldn’t access them. If that were the case, would a mail forwarder
(not a filter, just a straight forward) still pass mail on even if mail.msu.edu
were down?
Thanks for your help!
