-setup qmailtoaster on location1.example.com and location2.example.com, with the virtual domains of location1.example.com and location2.example.com
-overlay a domain alias of example.com on each server
-use .qmail-default to forward unknown local recipients within example.com to the other server (i'm pretty gray about this part)
only problem I see with that is that a recipeient unknown to both servers would create a mail loop...making me look pretty stupid ;-)
any more thoughts on this?

let´s see...do you want two servers with the same domain, in different places?if i´m right...why don´t you own one server only in a place and in the second place you may use connection via POP/SMTP ?I think that way it works fine and easy...I hope it help you.cheersthiago----- Original Message -----From: Andre TurpinSent: Monday, May 08, 2006 1:21 AMSubject: [qmailtoaster] Semi-intelligent routing without getting involved with qmail-ldap???Hello all,
hey, thanks to those who put this group of packages together and tested it up...coming into a qmail setup from an exim shop has been fairly painless with qmailtoaster...far simpler than rolling my own exim/debian/blah concoction together.
Anyway, a new need at our shop is to have existing qmailtoaster be smart enough to route messages to a second qmailtoaster server at our second shop in another city, all under the same domain whatever.com
So I got some users locally in server1, and will have some users locally on server2, and mail from the internet coming to _____@whatever.com will land at server1, and either get delivered locally or get passed on to server2. I know this is something that qmail-ldap is the ultimate solution for, but it seems pretty involved to setup and administer and I haven't found qmailldaptoaster yet, heh heh. Also, at our shop, there aren't many who can even spell computer so I don't want to make things unneccesarily complicated. And we're also talking a small number of mailboxes here, like <150 mailboxes total and very rare for changes to be made to those...so if a simple fix involves making .qmail files for so and so and something fairly manual, I don't mind. I've thought up a few really ugly ways to attempt to do this, but it seems like I'd just be opening a door wide open for spammers to hump my mailserver...so anyone's experience or thoughts here _greatly_ appreciated.
Thanks a bunch,
andre
