Good call Mal,
I was really only referring to the situation that bean raised.... In any situation with multiple clients, locations, etc exist I would imagine that these sorts of scenarios would require a completely different approach. Going back to my last employer (several years ago with a well known multi-national miner and petro-chem), they used site mail servers which were in turn linked to regional servers that were in turn linked back to the head offices on all the major continents. Each site, region and head office then maintained a system of back-ups on top of all of this operational hardware. This is probably on the opposite end of the spectrum to which bean was referring to though...

Mal.
