I have my own exchange for emails. There are times when my exchange service is down (because of power failure or maintanance) and during this time, my users do not have access to the exchange web access. To keep the user experience consistant, I was wondering if I can setup something like this:-

If my exchange server is down, google apps takes over and start relaying my mails. Users could log into google apps gmail account to send / receive mails. Once the exchange server is back online, they can continue using the exchange web access.

Please let me know if this is possible at all.

Thanks all in advance, BTR Naidu www.btrnaidu.com www.lmcentraal.com

yes, you need to configure Google Apps as your secondary email server.. there are a few tutorials online to help you with this subject, e.g.
