[Dovecot] Possible to run two dovecot accessing same directory?
Hi, Just wonder if it's possible to run two dovecot servers on two different machines, but serve out of the same directories. I would like to test second dovecot server before switching from first one to second one. Any suggestions? Simon

I believe it's also possible with mbox - I know Timo put in a lot of time making locking work reliably with mbox. -- Curtis Maloney cmaloney at cardgate.net
