Re: Huge Email Service

[Catalin Ciocoiu <cata@ix.mediasat.ro>]

First you can split /var/spool/mail in:
	/var/spool/mail/a/a*
	/var/spool/mail/b/b*
	...
	/var/spool/mail/z/z*
	/var/spool/pop   - lock dir for pop3 daemon 
This dirs can be stored on differend NFS servers.
You can create differend POP3 server on the same DNS name.
All POP3 servers mount all spool dirs.

You can configure more SMTP servers. I don't know how can resolve locking
problem for mailbox !!!
Or you can configure one server for  
	/var/spool/mail/a/a*
other for /var/spool/mail/b/b* 
...



This can be a sollution ??????
