I remember an old thread were someone (you?) said proxy_maybe was not ready
(yet?) for director, causing "Proxying loops".

Better choose the multiple instance solution then I guess.

What do you mean by the proper server ?

I don't want LMTP to be a SPOF, so I guess that if I've got for instance 2
directors, 2 real servers and mailboxes on NFS, I'd want 2 LMTP servers : 

on which servers should those LMTP servers run ? On the director servers (which
would mean director should have the mailboxes mounted) ?

Thanks.
