Two LDAP Server?

Hello,

we use dbmail with LDAP authentication from server A. Now we have the problem, that we have to use for one new maildomain LDAP authentication from server B.

Is it possible to configure dbmail so, that LDAP default authentication comes from server A, but if mail arrives for a certain domain, authentification switches to server B?

Thanks

Ralph

You are talking about 'sharding' the authenitication backend.

DBMail itself does not support this. You need to:

- setup a dbmail installation that talks exclusively to the second ldap
server
- setup a imap/pop3 proxy that know which dbmail backend to talk to,
based on the login
- update your MTA transport tables so your MTA also knows which server
to deliver email to

The dovecot proxy might fit the bill:
