Hello,

i'm thinking using 3 james frontends (with a alteon in front to do round robin) that is configured with the same mysql database (with users, spool, inbox and error tables). Any comments on this architecture (databases lock, etc) ?

Standard James distribution will not work in that environment: James needs locks working on the repositories.

There is a JamesHA (high availability) project on sourceforge. IIRC It basically implements the repository locking using javaspaces.

You can alternatively start by splitting the services to different computer: 1) one or more SMTP relaying servers to handle your incoming/outgoig mail (they does not have local users, only incoming/outgoing spools) 2) one or more POP3 servers that only handle incoming mails from the above SMTP servers and only handle mails for specific subgroups of users (using a rule that you can apply to your alteon)
