OK, I see, even if I don't think that using only one server will 'bow down'
it.
I use only one xmail server for more than 500 users, and never had problems
with xmail and the server usage. The Internet available bandwidth is more
likely the problem :)
But I will give you some possibilities :
first option : For the second 'sending only' server, create only one mailbox
account that will be used as the login/pass for auth. Eventualy, if you
have multiple different branches/companies/services and want to have some
log for them, create one 'sending only' mailbox per
branche/companie/service.
second option : schedule (or manualy started at each user or domain change
in primary server) an script that will :
- stop the two xmail services on each server
- copy from primary to second 'send only' :
<mailroot> files : domains.tab, mailusers.tab
<mailroot> "domains" sub-dir : complete structure and files
(except mailbox contents not needed on second 'send only' server)
- before restarting the second server, delete its <mailroot>\tabindex
sub-dir content (the indexes will be recreated from new tab files)
- restart the two xmail services
(it could be possible to not stop at all the primary server, but you need to
be sure that non xmail domain/account is changed when this script run, to
avoid bad contents :) )
third option 'the best' :) : create at script that enumerate the domain and
accounts of first server (preferred method is from xmail ctrl interface or
ctrlclnt tool) and create missing domains & accounts/delete no more present
domains & accounts on second server.
You can then schedule it on regular basis on start it manually when
dom/accounts changes on first server.
I remind that a 'sync' script was written for 'mx backups', that could be
adapted to do only this create/delete 'sync' between the two servers (it
does many other thinks) but was written for win platforms in vb.net. If you
want to try 'mono' (Net Framework implementation for linux/bsd) you could
adapt it. Or you could just have a look on its code to seen what it does.

Objet: [xmail] Re: SMTP auth on another server
Thanks for your reply Francis,
I need two servers because I don't want all my users to bow down my
server
with their outgoing emails, right now they use their ISP outgoing
servers
and I am scared of telling them to use mine.
I wanted to only run xmail smtp's service on that second server, what
solutions I have then?
Thanks
-fred

As these files are 'indexed' your can't simply copy them !
And even if you copy them and the indexes files, to run correctly xmail
needs 'domain' directories and 'mailbox' directories present too.
What is exactly the purpose to have two servers in your setup ?
mx backup ?
