So we see not advantage, but a big disatvantage. The simple advantage is the control. On a backup MX you can enforce your own rules for keeping mail, sending rates, alarming and so on. > - Is it true, that most ISP offer this kind of service? An ISP is an ISP - not a mail provider. So why should an pure ISP offer something like a backup MX or a smarthost? But in this world business is not a perfect thing: sometimes you have to offer one service to sell another. But if you don't want to offer such services yourself - be smart and ask another party which has this in their business model included, make a contract and offer it to your customers for a additional fee. So all sides will win. That is the art of making business. So we have no problem to offer a mail service and I'm pretty sure you will find many more here.
