Does anybody have a setup with a backup mail server?  How do you do it?


We use DRBD + hearbeat for such things. DRBD is something like raid1 over tcp. So you can setup 2 servers. One as primary and one as secondary. The primary maps the mx ip as virtual ip, mount the DRBD device (which contain all james data) and run the james service. The Secondary sync in realtime with the primary. If the primary goes down the secondary become master, bind the virtual ip, mount the DRBD device and start the needed services etc.

For more info see:

We use such a setup about over 2 years now in many installations. It works perfectly!
