We run our system with two policyd/postfix servers querying a mysql database on a third server. In 2 years processing about 500,000 SMTP connections every day, we have not yet had a problem with mysql being unavailable. Use Linux/Unix and it should run for years.

Hi folks

Thanks to those who gave me a hand with the compile the other day.

I'm setting this up for multiple servers. I would like to just run it on one server and have other postfix instances query it there. But it seemed to me to make the most sense to install policyd on each one and share a mysql database. That way if the main sever goes down mail can keep passing on the others. Does this work ok for consistency?

Does this make the most sense or is there a way to tell postfix to skip policyd if it can't connect.
