Marc Dequènes (Duck) commented on OVIRT-725:
--------------------------------------------

As for the MX2, counting on Linode is irrelevant because there is JIRA task OVIRT-424 about stopping use of Linode services. So the MM3 VM is to take over the MX1 role and is in PHX, we should find another place for it.

For better redundancy having it on another location in the world would be better (electric outage happen from time to time in a datacenter, networking problems also). I'm not sure of the resources in the oVirt project. Seems Alterway was used, but no more. We may ask IT to do this function. Also, inside the Community Cage project, the OSAS team wants to provide basic services like this to community projects, so this may also be an option.

> We currently just have a single MX record and mail server. For better reliability it's a good idea to set up a secondary MX that would act as a relay. This can help during primary MX maintenance as mail will be accumulated on the secondary MX and flushed to the primary once that comes up.
