Is it possibe to have mail hosted in a 'different place' from where web pages are hosted? That's a bit of a vague question, I'll expand:-
Yes. Point the MX records somewhere else.
Further question, now that I've found how to configure my postfix to receive the mail.
There are multiple MX records currently on the system where my domains are hosted, if I set the one with the lowest number (='best') to my Linux box with postfix I will get the mail sent there by default. If I set the lower priority ones to the existing mail host will that then receive the mail if my home system dies? How long does a sender wait before using the 'next best' MX record?
