....or b) you have a domain name and mail is sent to your machine by smtp and managed by postfix. In the second case, you would loose mail as soon as you are off......
Precisely, unfortunately i loose some emails (i am testing my machine) i plan to set another machine as a general server (www,mail,file server...)
If you are _receving_ mail by SMTP you need a server which is up 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Or, a configuration at the DNS such that you act as primary server and some other machine (at your ISP perhaps) acts as secondary machine, backup. If the sender machine finds you are down, it may simply bounce them back to the originator as impossible. It should store it and try later (temporary failure), but it seems to handle it as a permanent failure. Nothing you can do, except be online full time, or have a secondary server somewhere. You need to read the mail administration howto, and as many documents as you can get. -- Saludos Carlos Robinson
