not knowing anything about the real issues or what other people have done, the thing that comes to mind is a custom imap proxy that talks to both servers. You'd have to make sure that incoming mail ended up in both places at the same time for this approach to work. you could do this with a custom delivery agent. mark's statements about this kind of thing making the whole system more fragile & prone to failure come to mind as i think about trying to make such a thing work. Another thought is to find or write an imap server that uses an RDBMS as its backend storage; then use the DB's existing replication tools to do the replication. there's a purported early-beta quality thing called "decimail" out there that does this. on the other hand: http://deflexion.com/2006/06/for-imap-sql-just-sucks on perhaps a more useful note, One thing you might present to your management as an alternative to a live backup copy is a nightly sync to the backup servers. A lot less complicated, provides a lot of the benefit. _______________________________________________ Imap-uw mailing list [email protected] https://mailman1.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/imap-uw
