Does Dovecot Director health monitoring of backend servers ? Or is poolmon ( http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2010-August/051946.html) the best option for this? Maybe Ldirectord?

Thanks!

No, dovecot director only directs, but does not check health.

Poolmon is the way to go, as long as nobody has found the time to implement health checking mechanism.

"Dovecot Director only directs". But it does load balancing. Right?

I some sense yes, but it does not actually check the load of the backend systems, but only generates hashes depending on the backend host identifier, so that users are almost equally distributed among the backend hosts.

You can show the backend selected by hash and the currently used backend for a user with the following command:

doveadm -i director-instance director status user@domain
