Because of the way Fastmail's MX servers are distributed and configured, this allows the backup mail service to receive email even when delivery to Fastmail's main data centre is not possible (and where you cannot access the messages if they are delivered). In my case, the backup mail service is not as convenient to use, mostly because I only use it in an emergency, and the messages (new and old) are not properly organised. However, it does mean I can always access urgent messages during events such as the latest DDoS attack.

At least the services (Basic/Plus) of Pobox were not hit. Maybe with some modifications…… 🤔
