I have to take two copy of incoming mails on different servers(local & remote). I am using plain server without any panel on it and using sendmail, pop3 server Dovecot.
Is there a way(any configurations) to take a remote backup for all incoming mails? except configuring forwarder to each mail ID !!!!
Oh yes, quite a few:
Do it on delivery (by configuring your MTA to deliver to two places at once)
Use a tool like imapsync to replicate the mailboxes using IMAP periodically
Use filesystem-level replication (e.g. rsync/unison, ZFS mirroring)
Use block-level replication (e.g. drbd, Netapp snap-mirror)
Which you use will depend partly on what the replica is being used for, e.g. just for archive/audit; how quickly it has to be in sync; what happens when the remote replica is unreachable; and whether you want to be able to failover to the replica for 'live' use, and fail back again.

Thanks for responding. Is it possible to configure MTA to deliver to remote servers? I have tried with imapsync and able to transfer single mail account to remote server. Is there a way to transfer whole server's mail account using imapsync?
