Maybe u would like afs/dfs or coda or mysql (i dont know if there r mail exchangers, that can use mysql; maybe qmail?) better? Or maybe u would like this self-made construction better: Whenever an email comes in from the outside (so not from the other hot box), u forward it via some specially crafted /etc/aliases file to the other hot box. Then u would need something, that pop3-s both boxes simultaneously somehow (maybe via a journal, that is sent to the other hot box every few seconds, and that is shortened if the changes r acknowledged)... And after a crash the box would be updated automatically via the mail queue (if the down time was not too long)... -Arne ___________________________________________________________________________________ You snooze, you lose.
