Hello,
as our mail server load increases every day, I plan to scale the single mailserver in differnt units:
1x big storage server for all mailboxes, folders exported through NFS 1x smtp for mail-in (queue local, messages on storage server) 1x pop3/imap to retrieve the messages (config local, messages on storage server)
Since we're using maildir only, there's no problem to get the messages into the mailboxes. But what about dovecot for retrieving them? NFS will be v3. Is locking still a problem with it? Might the indexes get corrupt?
Regards Marten
