High availability email server...

OK...I'm searching for strategies to have a realtime email backup in the event of backend failure. We've been running cyrus-imap for about a year and a half with incredible success. Our failures have all been due to using junky storage. One idea is to have a continuous rsync of the cyrus

architecture: active active frontends sharing common backend

don't tell me about Murder, it's not for HA as much as it distributes load. Chad Prey Sr. Systems Administrator Salk Institute for Biological Studies -- Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu

Re: pop3 connection timeout lock problem

You may also be running out of randomness... thymine # cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail 4096 If this number is zero or very low...that could be your problem. /dev/random blocks if there's not enough randomness.../dev/urandom does not. a shot in the dark... Chad P. -- Cyrus

cyrus email server in HA SAN configuration

failover using drb. However, I would much rather use multiple frontend boxes behind a load balancer in a n+ active active configuration. Chad Prey -- Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu
