How to retrieve email from mxbackup.gradwell.net
Getting Started
MXBackup is a popular service for users who have their own mail server, if your mail server is unavailable we will store your email for you and re-deliver it when your server comes back online.
This procedure is automated and the schedule is based on QMail's own internal retry schedule, the table below gives a retry schedule based on each message received by mxbackup.gradwell.net
