Currently I have two servers, A and B. B is the older of the two and currently hosts _most_ of the mail accounts. They are functionally identical boxes. Currently _both_ are running spamd and _both_ have AWL/Bayes/userpref database tables on MySQL which are accessed locally and identically by the spamd instance on each box. My objective is only to unify the database tables supporting Bayes and user preferences so that there's only one set of MySQL tables for the users on both boxes. Whether this involves the use of two spamd daemons or one is the question. Scenario 1: spamc on box A communicates _over the network_ with spamd on box B, which uses its _local_ config and Bayes/usrpref database to do its work. Scenario 2: spamc on box A communicates with a _local_ spamd, which accesses local config files but uses a MySQL connection _over the network_ to box A to access the Bayes/userpref database. Sorry if I wasn't entirely clear before. I hope this clarifies the choice, which looks at this point as if I'd be better off with #2. -- Lindsay Haisley | "Everything works | Accredited FMP Computer Services | if you let it" | by the 512-259-1190 | (The Roadie) | Austin Better http://www.fmp.com | | Business Bureau
