At my university we are trying to implement a distributed email backend, but I have some troubles,
The topology:
Server A: Postfix+LMTP # MTA Server B: Dovecot+LMTP # Just mailboxes Server C: Dovecot # POP3/IMAP
Right now the Server A can leave a received email to the Server B, but I don't know how to communicate Server C to the Server B to retrieve the emails.
I think that we should use IMAP protocol, but I am confused about how to connect them, I don't know if we have to use a proxy IMAP server, or another thing.
Can anyone give me an idea?
some more ideas , but based on another server setup/layout use loadbalancer to serveral mailservers ( postfix/dovecot/amavis ) with shared storage ( gfs, nfs, ocfs2 , ceph ,drbd ) etc , shared ldap, sql auth backends etc

there are a lot of chances how to solve it, deeply depends how many mailboxes inkl quota you want to goal, and how much traffic is awaited, and at the end what is your budget target.
