Topic: Architecture

Hi Zhang,

Have a quick question regarding the server Architecture. I need to deploy a mail server for say 50000 mailboxes or more , is there any possibility to divide role wise (Seperate server for MTA and seperate server for LDAP and other services ) and  integrate to increase server performance and load balancing

Thanks,
Regards,
Mohan

Re: Architecture

Most components can be separated, for example, OpenLDAP, MySQL, Postfix, Dovecot, Roundcube Webmail.
The problem is, how these components access users' mailboxes. A shared storage (for example, SAN) or a networked file system (for example, DRBD) can solve it.
