Hello, I am after some advise. What is one to do when they have to many users on a single server (using one domain) and would want to split mail across multiple servers? What do the larger ISP's do?
I've been thinking about this and believe the best way to do it would be based on the first character in the local-part of the e-mail address/username i.e. mail to a*@domain.com to j*@domain.com goes to server 01 k*@domain.com to z*@domain .com goes to server 01. To do this I presume you would need at least three servers 1 being a forward machine and the other two being physical mail hosts. Obviously I would need a SMTP splitter of some sort, any recommendation would be good to delvier mail based on local part of the e-mail address. Then I would need a pop3 splitter to be able to bounce you to a seperate host based on the username? This is the tricky bit I see. What can I use to do this? Can qpopper do anything like this? Any idea's/suggestions are welcome. Thanks -Scott
