Subject:[courier-users] POP before SMTPActions...

Hello All,

I'm setting up a new mail system for my customer base (about 60,000 e-mail address) and I need to get a POP-before-SMTP solution in place for Courier.

I have 3 boxes: 1 running Exim / Courier-IMAP / MySQL, 1 running Exim / Courier-IMAP / MySQL and DRAC, and a hot-standby which either box can fallover to with VRRP.

The difficulty I'm running up against is that in order to use Exim in conjunction with DRAC, Exim needs to have direct access to the dracd.db file. In order to accomplish this the dracd.db file is shared among all the boxes by NFS from a central NFS server.

Unfortunately, this leads me to this problem: we've found is that DRAC is not NFS safe. If we run dracd.db over NFS, DRAC will occasionally core dump.

Does anyone have any suggestions for an alternative POP-before-SMTP solution for Courier-IMAP? I'd appreciate any hints!
