Greetings.

I've been trying to plan out a hypothetical redundant email system,
where email loss cannot occur if any single computer fails anywhere in
the delivery or mailbox access process, and duplicated email is
minimized.

In this system, email is initially stamped with a unique ID and
delivered to two or more qmail queues.  I know how to deliver local
email without causing duplicates (under normal conditions).  How would I
deliver remote email without duplicating it?  That is, how could I
synchronize the remote delivery of two qmail queues?

I suppose one option is to build a new qmail-remote front end that does
the synchronization before and after executing the real qmail-remote
program.  This seems like somewhat of a hack, though.  Can anybody else
think of a better solution?

I will post a summary of my planned system on my web page once I've
gotten it all figured out.
