I am willing to setup on East Coast with someone on West Coast.  I can do everything but standby generator.  Have 2 APC 
Matrix 5000 with XR battery packs and a tonload of 1KVA UPS's tho.  Could purchase more battery packs to extend uptime 
on 5KVa which run routers.  Have local modems on site, and 20 state dialin (outsourced). And Internet access to POP & 
IMAP.

How does Murphy know when to strike.

Argh, I went almost 15 years without losing a single mail message.  Less than
two months of using a "modern" mailer and they're all gone.  I want my VAX/VMS
back.

Everyone who sent me mail about needing a reporting channel for the Y2K
rollover on New Year's, could you please send me another message.  I had
not copied the names down before my mailbox disappeared.

Thanks.

Yes, I was thinking about a backup.  I sent this message early this morning,
before I lost all my mail.

Perhaps a strange request but I'm looking for two mail accounts I can
access via a dialup (Shell or PPP) and Internet (POP3 or IMAP).

Here are the requirements:

One server on the Eastern US power grid
One server on the Western US power grid
Each served via a minimum of two backbone providers (I prefer
 the east and west server be on seperate backbones)
Each acting as a secondary MX and DNS server for the other
Mail server will accept mail addressed with a designated domain name
Mail will be sent using a designated domain name
Dialup access will be via a dial access server using at most
 a LAN connection to the mail server (no WAN links)
The facility housing the mail server will have a UPS and
 standby generator
Inbound mail: a minumum of 50mb mail storage
Outbound mail: 1,000 5kb messages every four hours (LISTSERV and LSMTP
or similar)

I estimate I need the mailboxes from approximately December 1 through
January 15.
