HI all, I have a fully functional exim infrastructure that archives inbound and outbound messages to a cryoserver mail archive, using an entry in a system filter like this:
unseen deliver [EMAIL PROTECTED] complianceinternet.co.uk is the e-mail address used by cryoserver to catch a copy of each message. The domain "complianceinternet.co.uk" is routed via an literal IP address using a manualroute entry in my exim config (to the cryoserver box which is on the same LAN). The problem is that a secondary cryoserver exists at my DR site which is located at the other end of a WAN circuit which is also used for of terminal services traffic between the two sites. Whenever the primary cryoserver receives a message from my exim box it immediately replicates the message over the slow WAN link to the secondary cryoserver, severely affecting the performance/latency over the link. I have lots of unused bandwidth between 8pm-8am but how can I apply some rules about when deliveries can take place? Limitations that I have to work around: A) I can't physically change the way cryoserver works, it is a sealed tamper-proof unit (It has to be otherwise message fidelity could be called into question) so I am stuck with the way it works. B) I don't want to turn off the secondary cryoserver as if the primary fails I will lose the entire archive. C) I don't want to have to locate the primary AND secondary cryoserver at the same site, it defeats the whole point of having a second DR site. So far I have been looking at using the "queue_remote_domains" and "queue_domains" options. (I don't think that the "queue_smtp_domains" option is relevant here because I manualroute) I've tried my best to explain my config here, but please feel free to ask for any more details if required. 1) Is queuing the right kind of solution here or would it be possible to create a "stunt transport" that only operates between certain hours of the day? 2) How do I stop my regular queue runners from just picking up and delivering anything I've tried to hold with a "queued domain" entry anyway?
