Now, My mboxNN Server are in several countries and each has some 100 up to some 1000 $USER.

If I connect with mutt or telnet to <mx.freenet.de> via POP3 or IMAP I see the redirection to the mboxNN.freenet.de.

Where NN is a number between 01 and 60

I see no evidence of this happening for POP3 or IMAP, only SMTP.

??? - This Servers containing 50-75.000 $USER.

My Outgoing (SMTP) messages are is done via <mx.freenet.de>.

My Mailboxes (IMAP/POP3) are located on the <mboxNN.freenet.de> servers, but I connect only to connect to <mx.freenet.de> which know, if I connect to mailbox:

linux4michelle is on mbox47.freenet.de dos4michelle is on mbox52.freenet.de michelle.konzack is on mbox54.freenet.de wfw4michelle is on mbox57.freenet.de bsd4michelle is on mbox75.freenet.de

So it is quit clear, that you can not put 4.500.000 Mailboxes on ONE Server and you have to split it on mbox-Servers...

OK, in one of my previous Messages I have written 60 mbox Servers, which is not right, because there are more then 80 and they use Unix-UID!

What I want is to split my $USER by country...

Question: Where can I find a HOWTO for this configuration ?

There are many third party commercial load-balancing proxies that do these kinds of tricks. Or, the current version of Courier-IMAP can do something similar in software only. See the README.proxy file.

Curently not read, but I think, it is not what I want. I do not want loadbalancing/mirroring of the whole system over a couple of Servers...
