RE: Email cluster



We use something like this in our network:

- The MX has: AV+Spam filters; and relays all mails to the primary server.

- The primary server has: pop and imap. Is the mail store and all mails from
our users goes out troughs this machine (this is our smtp.mydomain.com and
pop.mydomain.com)


But what happen when one machine can't manage the entire load, but steal
needs to work with only one domain (ej: mydomain.com)? In this situation
some kind of load balance is needed but I have no idea how to implement it.

Thanks.

Why not split the functionality among the three machines.

machine 1
smtp (receive mail from network)
dns blacklist
greylist
spf

machine 2
clamav
spamassassin
webmail

machine 3
mailstore
pop/imap
ldap/mysql account information


Rearrange to fit your needs and load
