My apologies in advance for not being subscribed to the list but I had a quick inquiry. I've read in the docs that the Cyrus NNTP daemon can export shared folders via NNTP and receive an NNTP feed. Can the same be done for user mailboxes? I've always wondered if a group of Cyrus Servers could use their NNTP daemons to provide fairly robust asynchronous replication for user mailboxes. A poor man's replication engine if you will. Aside from the geographic redundancy this could provide, it would be handy for users who travel among many branch offices so their email access is to the "local" server rather than across the WAN link. I envisioned that the only allowed "subscribers" to these "groups" would be the servers themselves to feed each other changes in the user's folders. Could this be done? Would there be many technical challenges to use NNTP as a poor man's replication tool? Is there a technical reason that the NNTP engine is limited to shared folders?
