Hi.
In one word: no
James doesn't support the failover mechanism as it is, at the moment.
We have the same problem and we are going to use the following
configuration:
- 2 James instances with a loadbalancer.
- A pop3 lock patch we developed (for a single james)
- Separated spool and outgoing repositories
- Common inbox repository.

If an instance fails (i.e. telnet on 25 and on 110 dies), a daemon copies
the spool from an instance to the other and it should keep going.

Hope it helps
Cheers
Marcello
