Hello, I was wondering if anyone can point me to information how to set up a backup email server. In such a way that if the main server is down one can switch to the backup with no to minimal loss of email (connectivity).
I am thinking of a solution where if one server goes down (say an hd crash) the other server is used automatically. You could create a dns entry to randomly use one or the other IP, and mirror both systems. The central problem I believe is how to keep data like mailboxes in sync between 2 or more servers. If you'd use an NFS mounted server you create NFS related problems and an additional problem, of the NFS server possibly going down. (apologies for sending this mistakingly to a single person) Thank you, Jeroen -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
