We do this with cyrus 2.2.12 (2 frontend, 1 master, 3 backend server) no problem. Some of the shared mailboxes are on one server, while subscribers are on another. We run the frontend servers in proxy mode only. Mike -- Michael D.

We have a largish (~120,000 user / ~ 485,000 mailboxes) cyrus 2.2 install that is spread across 6 frontends and 4 backends in a murder and I just had an interesting question that I can't seem to answer. We have a number of shared mailboxes that get certain types of messages such as abuse mail and spam reports. Recently more people wish to subscribe to these mailboxes but we have run into a small problem. Most of these people do not have their inboxes on the same backend and therefore they can not subscribe to the shared mailbox using their mail client. Does anyone have a workaround for this or even encountered this problem? I tried editing the subscription file by hand since our subscription_db is set to flat but that did not work.
