Well, that's easy to say :)
But I need to make sure that if a server fails, the mail continues to go
in/out. What solution is there?
If everything is on one server, then if that fails (complete raid failure /
motherboard failure / disk failure / nick failure / etc), the mail would
come into the secondary server, but there would be no way for users to get
it.
