Re: mail server setup

hi.
I've setup a mail server on RH9 about two years ago with the help of
qmailrocks.
Now I've got two mail server, the first one (FC2) is the primary MX of
about 600 domains, with qmail and qmailscanner+clamv+spamd that clean
mail from spam and then forward mail to the other one (RH9) with
qmail+vpopmail+mysql where my customers can get mails via pop3 or imap
connection.
Today I'm planning to replace the second server, leaving the first one
that stop spam so well (for now;)).
I've bought two identical biprocessor machine (xeon 2.4) with 4GB of
ram, two sata 160gb hd and 3 gigabit ethernet cards.

I'm thinking a possible solution with the use of those machines with
qmail+vpopmail, for making an high availability enviroment. But I'm
also thinking a possible load balancing solution for improve mail
server performance.
I don't have any idea if is it possible with qmail and vpopmail (with
mysql or not?) to work in that condition? I think that I'll use fedora
core 4 but what other packages I'd require?

thanks a lot,
best regards.

Paolo,


I would choose Cluster Manager from Red Hat. Make a piranha loadbalancer, becomes a failover if one node dies.

Has an easy to use web configuration interface.
