Hi All,
I appologise in advance if this is a relatively simple question however I
haven't been able to find an easy fix.
We have several backend servers that contain mailboxes, there is no
structure as to which server contains mailboxes (Ie. Alphabetically) nor is
there an easy way to suck out a list of which server hosts which mailbox
that Perdition can map against.
Currently I've configured Perdition to use Regex with a couple lines as
follows
^[a-z]: 203.x.x.1
^[a-z]: 203.x.x.2
Obviously this only trys to authenticate against the first server. Is there
a way to tell Perdition that if authentication fails on server 1, try to
auth against server 2?
TIA.
Yes, auth failover would be useful. But in case the answer is NO, try
this...
1. set up a mysql server
2. run a cron job every 15 mins which goes through your mail directory
structure, inserting the user/domains into the database with the hostname.
3. Use perditions mysql lookup ability to redirect messages to the
correct server.
Means that any new accounts will have an initial delay but that's all.
You can optimise step 2 by keeping a local record of already existing
account and first check against that before doing any sql queries.
HTH,
Dan
