Hello,
I have the tastk to make a project of a server cluster for 20.000
mailboxes.
In which way may I create a cluseter of imap servers using FreeBSD ?
any suggestions or hints ?
The is the problem of the imap mailboxes. How can I syncronize them
in real time on both machines ?
I as thinking to cyrus imapd or dovecot as imap server, but anyway 20.000 
mailboxes are really huge...
And with cyrus imapd is impossible to achieve a real fail over system
even using cyrus murder.
Anyone knows which kind of solutions are used by yahoo for example ?
thank you

Rick
