I need run chkuser in my secondary MX server.
I followed the following steps:

but it does not function.
On the backup MX, the domain should be in rcpthosts (or morercpthosts
which builds morercpthosts.cdb) and users/assign (which builds to
users/cdb). It should NOT be in virtualdomains and it does not need
to be in smtproutes if your primary server has a lower MX record than
the backup server.
If you're using the CDB-backend, you'll probably want to copy the
whole ~vpopmail/domains over, excluding Maildir directories, so
chkuser will work. And you'll probably want to rsync it every so
often so new users and aliases go across. I rsync the whole
~vpopmail/domains directory each night so I have an off-site backup
of email as well.
Here's what I rsync every 5 minutes, script runs on primary mx, and
I've added the primary mx's ssh key to mx2's authorized_keys file:
rsync -azl --numeric-ids --exclude=Maildir --delete --exclude=lastauth \
/home/vpopmail/domains/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/vpopmail/domains/
rsync -azl --numeric-ids /var/qmail/users [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/
qmail/
rsync -azl --numeric-ids --exclude=*.lock \
/var/qmail/control/*hosts* /var/qmail/control/smtproutes \
/var/qmail/control/badmail* [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/qmail/control/
I guess if I was backing up Maildirs as well, throughout the day, I
could failover to that server should the primary die a horrible
death. I'd have to copy the virtualdomains file, stop the rsync, and
update DNS so the backup had the lowest MX record.
