You can copy stuff up there, as a periodic backup process. I did that kind of thing when I was the Sr. Internet Mail Administrator for Global Network Navigator, which was a joint venture between AOL and O'Reilly & Associates, and while it started out as the first major Internet portal, it later became the first nationwide ISP. But don't try to use a mail spool on top of NFS as a live filesystem. > It's my understanding that the next version on Leopard will support > mail clustering so the solution I was looking for was somewhat > temporary. I'll have to give this a lot more thought. Yeah, I don't think I'd really buy that. At best, that's a version 1.0 product from a company that doesn't really understand Enterprise requirements. If you want to know how to properly build or operate a mail cluster, I can point you to slides from invited talks that I've presented at various conferences (see <http://www.shub-internet.org/brad/papers/>), and consulting work that I've done for large corporations. I'm not currently in a position to officially do more of that kind of consulting now, but I can at least give you some guidance, and may be able to help you find someone who could help you implement that sort of thing. -- Brad Knowles <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Consultant & Author LinkedIn Profile: <http://tinyurl.com/y8kpxu> Slides from Invited Talks: <http://tinyurl.com/tj6q4> 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
