I want to run postfix. For SMTP traffic, it's easy: just edit your DNS and add two MX records tor "mydomain.com", one pointing to each server. Incoming emails will deliver to one and try the other if the first fails. Clustering the actual stored messages is a lot harder. I don't have any suggestions there. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com
