I'm a new fan of exim and I handle a setup with a few mail servers running Exim 4.52.
But: If one machine failed, all users sending mails to that box would get a connection failed error.
Therefore I want to build a mail cluster (LVS) where all boxes have shared maildirs and a shared queue.
My question: Are there technical problems when more than one Exim instance is using the same spool
directory? Are there workarounds or *if* there are problems could they be solved without losing the
idea of a redundant mail system with a central storage unit?
I got a redundant storage server which should scale well. It already handles the maildirs of the
different users.
If this was already answered to the current versions of Exim, please give me the link or just tell
me that it has been posted if it's too annoying :).
I searched the list but I didn't find a clear answer to my problem.
