That isn't likely the easiest to support. Rather, I'd recommend using ldap2aliases (see my sig) to synchronize the userbase into an alias table on the secondary. In normal operation, mail will be forwarded to the primary, enabling you (among other benefits) to save on a Declude license. _If_ the primary goes down hard, you'd then delete the alias key on the secondary, causing mail to be delivered locally on the secondary rather than being forwarded across the wire.
I will definitely check this out, I have been thinking about ways to go about keeping 2 separate servers identical. Other questions on this.. The official host name, in Imail, which is todhunter.com on my current mail server, would need to be the same on the 2nd mail server, I'm guessing?? Can you have two servers with the same official host name? What would be the best way to access webmail on the 2nd server, should the first one go down?. http://mail.todhunter.com:8383 would automatically try to connect with the primary server. Ideally, I'd like the server address to be mail2.todhunter.com, or something like that. A host record in DNS to point to mail2 with the new IP address? Then, mx record with higher number pointing to that host? Webmail address then becomes http://mail2.todhunter.com:8383 That server would still need to know that it is to accept mail for [EMAIL PROTECTED] Would this work?
