High availability email server...

OK...I'm searching for strategies to have a "realtime" email backup in the event of backend failure. We've been running cyrus-imap for about a year and a half with incredible success. Our failures have all been due to using junky storage. One idea is to have a continuous rsync of the cyrus /var/sp

migrate mail from Gordano mail server

we need a system to set the state flags. I don't expect anyone else to have experience with Gordano...I just need to know what is in the state databases and what format so I can have a perl script create them for me. -- Chad A. Prey Salk Institute --- Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/c
