There's been a number of questions on this list about configuring to
avoid a single point of failure. This RFC offers a method of achieving
that goal.
RFC 3656
Title: The Mailbox Update (MUPDATE)
Distributed Mailbox Database Protocol
Author(s): R. Siemborski
Status: Experimental
Date: December 2003
Mailbox: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Pages: 19
Characters: 35509
Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None
I-D Tag: draft-siemborski-mupdate-04.txt
URL: ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc3656.txt
As the demand for high-performance mail delivery agents increases,
it becomes apparent that single-machine solutions are inadequate to
the task, both because of capacity limits and that the failure of
the single machine means a loss of mail delivery for all users. It
is preferable to allow many machines to share the responsibility of
mail delivery.
The Mailbox Update (MUPDATE) protocol allows a group of Internet
Message Access Protocol (IMAP) or Post Office Protocol - Version 3
(POP3) servers to function with a unified mailbox namespace. This
document is intended to serve as a reference guide to that protocol.
