[...] You're completely correct, this is the kind of system I'm building and others have had in production use (see the thread on clusters, GFS and HA, for instance - begins at http://www.mail-archive.com/info-cyrus@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg30675.html (couldn't open the official info-cyrus archive)). So you /can/ run Cyrus on multiple servers accessing the same mailboxes database. Just don't use BDB. Don't even compile it in. --Janne Peltonen IMAP admin Univ. of Helsinki ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
