hello... any reply for the below?? i dun have any clue :( is copying certain user's Maildir/new/* to the Site B server a good idea?
I assume you have two email servers. Site A receives everything and is then synced to Site B. YES, Site A receives everything, but is not sync to Site B. I wanna do something like "sync" to Site B, how? Both email servers have the same set of data. Yes, it has the same database and same domain name users You don’t want to have separate email servers for both. Site A will receives everything, den "forward" to Site B server. When Site B users send out emails, all will be directly out through Site B server, and same as Site A server.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

To reduce network usage between site 1 and site 2. correct? Do you also _need_ to have a “backup” email server? So, if this is true, then you need both servers to have all copies of all mails. By changing DNS to the 2nd server IP, you can stop the “extra” traffic across the connection of users at Site B. They’ll be checking their mail from Server B, and not crossing the A – B link. The flow of mail will continue, but will only cross once, instead of twice (once for the backup server, once for the user). So that cuts traffic in half, and you still have a “backup” mail server with full data for all users. If you want to have only mail for Site B go to server B… that’s a different scenario.

However, creating an alias domain name is not a very solution, because users are non-IT knowledge. it will be a mass asking them to change their email address, and might get fired :D Yes, that's what I'm trying to achieve. However, Mark Burlingame gave a very good suggestion where by I might be able to send the emails from Site A server to Site B server with an internal DNS Server. Since both sites are connected via VPN, maybe this is a good hint. But, any input on how to get this done??

I think what he is asking is he has 2 locations and as an example, use 2 users, Fred and Mary. Fred works in location 1 and Mary is in location 2. He only has one domain for mail: abc.com.my He wants Fred to check his pop account in his local server and wants Mary to check on the pop server in her location. He's asking if there is a way to have all mail come into server 1 but since Mary's account isn't in there, to send it off to server 2. A couple ways to do this could be to: -- Make subdomains like location1.abc.com.my and location2.abc.com.my but this would change the email addresses to be [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- On the server in location 1, ALL mail comes in. Fred's drops into his box because it's local but Mary has an account in the local BUT there is a Forward to server rule on her account that would send it off to the other server. I'm not sure where the setting is for the forward but I'm pretty sure I stumbled on it somewhere. Hopefully this helps get a bit closer to the answer.
