Hello, After many hours of confusing mixtures of pain and pleasure, I have a secure and well-behaved e-mail server which encompasses all the features I originally desired. However, in the event that I need to reboot the server (perhaps a kernel update was added to Portage), I would like to have a miniature mail server which catches incoming mail if, and only if, my primary server is down.
I have Gentoo installation on an old Raspberry Pi (model B+), and was curious if such a set-up was possible ? I also want the solution to be as minimal as possible. I see the problem as three parts: (a) Convincing the D.N.S.\ and my router to redirect mail to the alternate server, should the default one not be reachable; (b) Creating the alternate mail server to be as lightweight as possible. I'm not even sure if I need an S.M.T.P.\ server (postfix). Would courier-imap do the trick on its own (with courier-authlib and mysql) ? (c) Moving mail from the alternate server to the main server once the latter has regained conciousness. I realise this is a slightly different problem, and is not even necessarily _required_ for operation, although it's certainly a nice-to-have. What do you think; is this at all possible ? Has anyone here done anything like this before ? Thanks in advance. -- Ashley Dixon suugaku.co.uk 2A9A 4117 DA96 D18A 8A7B B0D2 A30E BF25 F290 A8AA
