Just jumping in, haven't read the whole thread - yes, that is okay.  You can 
sync any of the Maildir files, just don't try the queue files.

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.
Thanks

hi mark,

With this setup, the Site A users will be checking the mails from Site B server 
already, right? site B server will becoming a primary server already, right?

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Hello,

 

I'm assuming a few things here.   Let me state them now.

 

1.  I assume you have two email servers.  Site A receives everything and
is then synced to Site B.
2.  Both email servers have the same set of data. 
3.  You don't want to have separate email servers for both. 

 

If this is not how you want it to be, then please correct me before I go any
further.

Re: [qmailtoaster] automtically forward emails from Primary Server to Secondary Server

[Gabriel Lai]

Yes, Phil got me right. 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??

Cheers ;)

I think he's asking about the server side not the client side.  

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.

RE: [qmailtoaster] automtically forward emails from Primary Server to Secondary Server

[Mark Burlingame]

Ok,  So you want people at "Site B" to be checking their mail on "Server B",
right?

 

This can be done with DNS entries.

 

I'd set it up like this

 

mail.abc.com.my   10.10.5.10

mail2.abc.com.my 192.168.0.10

 

And then for the email settings at Site 2, have them use the 2nd server. 

 

Method 1: Using Windows Hosts file for DNS lookup  (good for small networks)

C:\windows\drivers\etc\hosts

Mail.abc.com.my   192.168.0.10

 

Method 2:

Change Outlook settings

Put the mail2.abc.com.my address in for the POP3/IMAP server in the email
client setup.

Hi,

seems like smtproutes is not the function that I required, or probably I
don't fully understand the help file.

Recap:

2 Servers. Site A & Site B have the same Domain Email Address eg: abc.com.my
then when Primary server receives the emails, it will copy/forward a copy of
the email to Site B Server.

Re: [qmailtoaster] automtically forward emails from Primary Server to Secondary Server

[Natalio Gatti]

Sorry, my mistake ;-)
smtproutes will function in case you don't have the domain locally created.
I had a similar situation and i solved it by creating a second domain
and alias/forwards. The users that use the second domain sent mail
using there primary address.
Maybe this fits you, but if you have a lot of accounts, it becomes horrible.

[qmailtoaster] automtically forward emails from Primary Server to Secondary Server

[Gabriel Lai]

Hello all,

I have an idea of setup that need further help in getting it done. 

I have setup a Primary Mail Server, and a Secondary Server.

Site A - Primary Server
Site B - Backup Server

When primary Server in Site A receives all the emails, how can I forward 
specific emails to Backup Server automatically? 

As some list of users are in Site B, therefore we would like to forward the 
users from Primary Server to the Backup Server automatically?

Some users are in Site A, some of the users are in Site B. They are receiving 
emails through POP3 & SMTP. But because of the traffic in Site B are very huge, 
we would like them to get their emails from the Backup Server in Site B, and 
send out email directly from Site B Backup Server.

How can we do this?
