no, DNS's mx records need to deliver mail to each server. locationone.domain.com. MX 10 mx.locationone.domain.com locationtwo.domain.com. MX 10 mx.locationtwo.domain.com >, but with users only setup on one or the other, with mail >going to the corresponding server. Imail SMTP peering will peer incoming mail only, not pop or web. you will need separate hostnames for each imail server, as above. >And if that is possible does the main >server chew up bandwidth to both locations to make the mail delivery? with imail peering and 2 peers, 50% of the mail goes to the wrong box (bandwidth!), which must forward it to the good box (bandwidth!). If big mailvolumes and bandwith are a major concern, you could put a mail routing box like IMGate at your ISP. IMGate would have address re-writing and routing tables. Internet sends mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] for DNS: domain.com. MX 10 imgate.domain.com. ... which would rewrite [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and the reverse on outbound.
