Hello all, I have an e-mail server that is outgrowing its capacity. So, I would like to redirect some accounts within a single domain to another mail server. But I would like to do it transparently.
For example, let's say I have two accounts, b...@example.com and m...@example.com. My current setup is such that the MX record for example.com points to a single server: smtp.example.com. However, smtp.example.com is running out of capacity. So I would like bob's e-mail to go to one server and mary's e-mail go to another. What I think I would like to do is add two new servers: smtp01.example.com and smtp02.example.com, with smtp.example.com acting as a gateway/relay/proxy. So, e-mail would still go to smtp.example.com. But it would then pass on e-mail for b...@example.com to smtp01.example.com and e-mail for m...@example.com to smtp02.example.com. If this is a reasonable way to go, what is this setup called? I have found plenty of examples of relaying or creating transports at the domain level, but nothing at the granularity of accounts within a domain. Are there other, more reasonable ways to split e-mail across multiple e-mail servers for accounts in a single domain?
