is a distributed server scheme, in which one deploys front- and
back-ends. Users access the front-end servers, which consult a
"mupdate" database to locate the corresponding back-end for any given
mailbox. More here:

Cyrus replication, on the other hand, allows one to maintain a
"master" instance which uses IMAP protocol to replicate mailboxes,
sieve scripts, etc. to one or more replicas. You can read all about
it here:

I stand corrected. I was unaware of the replication option. I did know
that cyrus-murder is designed to be a fully redundant solution, but
misused the term replication. I suspect that every time I saw the word
replication, I shuddered, though of cyrus-murder, and quickly turned the
page :-)
Off to read the "replication" docs.
Thanks Nic. That's today's learning done early :-)
