Hi, I've my mail solution configured on Server-A with webmail, Dovecot and Postfix. I'm trying to deploy only Dovecot and postfix on Server-B to reduce IMAP/POP3/SMTP load on server-A. Please note server-B does not mailboxes. It should be mapped to mailboxes on server-A. While the LDAP query from Server-B to Server-A is going successfully, the imap service on Server-B is throwing the below error. imap(user at example.com): Debug: Home dir not found: /mail/vmail/**/ I guess imap is looking for *home dir* in server-B. How do I tel the imap that home dir is on server-A and not server-B. Please let me know if there exists a configuration parameter for the above.. Thanks Divakar
mount the /mail/vmail/**/ on server-B via nfs.

Thanks for suggestion. Starting NFS would consume more cpu on Server-A as I need to start mountd, nfsd (couple more) and also sync from nfs client would further degrade system performance. Is there way of telling dovecot on system-B that *Maildir* is located on server-A and map it to home dir attribute...
