If you (or anyone) want to talk about backup MX service, send me an 
email directly.  I have some requirements (mostly around a list of what 
addresses are valid so that I don't Joe Job people) but would generally 
be willing to help.

That does bring up a question of what would thee remailer community at 
large think of multiple remailers using the same backup MX server? 
Remember, the backup MX has no visibility into the messages and is only 
functioning as an SMTP way point.
