I currently have a mail server using Dovecot and sendmail. I was thinking I would like to have a backup of my mail and an additional server in case of hardware failure. Is it possible to run two identical or nearly identical server setups and sync the mail files between them? If it is possible, in general terms how would one go about this? Thanks, -- Knute Johnson
For sure Knute. Take a look at this: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Replication I think a good implementation would be using a dovecot director layer + dovecot replication.
