Thanks for taking the time to answer Jake.
I really don't need the servers to synchronize at all. I can manually
maintain a user list for chkuser2 on both machines as soon as I figure out
where it is looking.
It will be querying the database (vpopmail) in MySQL, FYI. Specifically
the valias table in there to verify the email address.
I am just not sure I am communicating effectively to the list what I am
trying to do...
I can configure the qmailtoaster server to process the inbound email exactly
as I had hoped it would.
What I don't want to happen is take email message from [EMAIL PROTECTED]
with the correct headers intact and now forwards it to a different server
and now it has a new header saying that my first [EMAIL PROTECTED] 'A' forwarded
it. So turning on the forward rule in Qmailadmin for each user won't work
for me.
If I'm understanding you right, you may want to have Server A get the
mail, and have all the accounts on it. Then retrieve the mail using
fetchmail on Server B, which would have the same info as server A. I use
this (similar, at least) to poll my account at the college - the emails
show up as [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] using
this method, without the header being changed, since fetchmail is
grabbing it via IMAP (you can also use POP, but the school requires
IMAP) and dumping it into my Maildir. You can't really forward the email
without changing it unless you use something like fetchmail or procmail,
since everytime a SMTP connection is made (simplifying here...) the
header gets changed. Using this method, Server A would get the mail,
process it (virus scan, spam filter) and then deliver it like it's
supposed to (to the local account on the machine). Server B would then
poll that email account, and deliver it into the account you specify
(same account as on Machine A, but residing on Server B).
I can't say for sure whether or not this will cause problems further
down the road.... What pops into my mind is that Server B will be
sending the message, but it's public IP will not match the IP of Server
A and may get kicked by some spam checkers - unless you're running both
off of the same IP address using NAT and a DMZ.
