Hi Ugo,
Congrats on your plan opening the ISP.
For webmail, a professional touch would be nice for your customer. Instead of
using plain squirrelmail, try using http://www.nutsmail.com/ instead.
AFAIK, redundancy for mail server seldom uses linux-ha/any other failover
stuffs. It is most common to use 'backup MX' in DNS settings. So, when the
main server in unreachable, the sender mail server would try to the secondary
MX through DNS query.
