DuoCircle's Backup MX and Email Continuity service ensures your incoming mail is always received, queued, and delivered — even during outages, maintenance windows, or unexpected server failures.
Every minute your mail server is unreachable, inbound emails pile up, bounce back, or disappear entirely. For businesses that depend on email to communicate with customers, partners, and vendors, that's a risk you simply cannot afford. DuoCircle's Backup MX service acts as a silent safety net — automatically catching all inbound mail the moment your primary server becomes unavailable, queuing it securely in the cloud, and delivering it the instant your server comes back online. No configuration headaches, no lost messages, no panicked calls to IT.
DuoCircle's Backup MX and Email Continuity service is built to keep your communications flowing without manual intervention. Here's what's included:
DuoCircle serves a global customer base spanning SMBs, enterprises, and managed service providers — all relying on our infrastructure to keep their email secure and always available.
Real feedback from verified G2 reviews by businesses using DuoCircle's email security and deliverability services.
A Backup MX (Mail Exchanger) record is a secondary DNS entry that tells sending mail servers where to deliver email if your primary mail server is unreachable. DuoCircle's infrastructure acts as that secondary destination, securely holding your mail until your server is back online.
In most cases, no. DuoCircle accepts the inbound message on your behalf, so sending servers receive a successful delivery confirmation. The sender won't experience a bounce or error — and neither will you.
DuoCircle holds queued emails securely in the cloud for the duration of your server outage, ensuring no messages are lost regardless of how long the disruption lasts.
Yes. DuoCircle's Backup MX works in conjunction with its spam filtering and Advanced Threat Defense Suite, so all queued messages are scanned for spam, malware, and phishing links before being delivered to your inbox.
Not at all. Activating Backup MX requires only a simple DNS change — adding DuoCircle as a secondary MX record for your domain. DuoCircle's support team is available to guide you through the process, and customers consistently highlight the team's responsiveness and helpfulness.
