Scott J. Henson wanted us to know:
Maybe I am misinterpreting this, but it sounds like each mailbox is
assigned to exactly one realserver?
So you have distributed the mailboxes for load-balancing, but is there any
redundancy if one of the boxes goes down?
Nope, your not misinterpreting anything. With mail you can't really
have the type of redundancy you can have with say a webserver serving
out content. The problem is that imap doesn't like to be distributed.
Could always go with something like cyrus-imap with the murder
extension, which is for an imap cluster. I've never set it up, don't
know any details much beyond what I've stated here. But it's supposed
to make the mail machines look like a cluster.
Yes, I forgot to mention that, but word from the already been there, its
HARD. At least in my experience its more trouble than its worth.
