[vchkpw] RE: Redundant server
Has anyone who is running vpopmail/qmail/mysql created a backup/redundant or even a secondary server for the same domains? Im looking to do that and I was wondering if there was any documentation available. Also is there any documentation I can read on how to properly backup the e-mails, users, config files on the setup stated above. I am running that on redhat 9. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
RE: [vchkpw] RE: Redundant server
The reason why I asked about the script, is because backups are done by a different machine. And my apologies for sending an off topic message, but thank you for your reply you gave me a starting point. -Original Message- From: James Treworgy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 03, 2004 11:26 AM To: David Petruzzella Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [vchkpw] RE: Redundant server This doesn't have anything to do with vpopmail. Very simple qmail config. On your secondary server, add the domains for which you are running backup to rcpthosts. Then add the backup server as a lower priority MX to your DNS. The qmail server on the backup machine will accept the mail, realize they are not locals (since they are NOT found in virtualdomains on the backup server) and forward them to the primary. Not sure what you mean about backing up the secondary, this doesn't really have to do with this service. However you back up the server in general ought to be just fine for backing up any queued mail as well. -- Jamie Thursday, June 3, 2004, 11:31:30 AM, you wrote: DP Has anyone who is running vpopmail/qmail/mysqlcreated a DP backup/redundant or even a secondary server for the same domains?

Basically yes but the other half of the cluster would be at a different office. -Original Message- From: Patrick Donker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 03, 2004 11:37 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [vchkpw] RE: Redundant server David Petruzzella wrote: Has anyone who is running vpopmail/qmail/mysql created a backup/redundant or even a secondary server for the same domains?

Rsync these directories over to the other machine /var/qmail/control /var/qmail/users /home/vpopmail/domains Be sure to have rsync delete files that don't exist on the first machine. On the second machine don't use the virtualdomains file. Instead have an smtproutes file to forward everything over to the first machine. In case of a failure of the first machine: on the second machine put the virtualdomains file in place (from the first machine) and remove the smtproutes file. It is easier if you use cdb, but if you need to use mysql, setup mysql to replicate from the first machine to the second machine. I'd recommend turning off auth_logging if possible. That will signficantly reduce the replication traffic. If you have three machines use a standard cluster setup with the third machine as an NFS server mounting the /home/vpopmail/domains directory. Hope that helps, Ken Jones
