As stated in the other mails, you can use procmail *and* dovecot's LDA. then, your cache files are updated on *every* operation on a mailbox (storing and fetching mails) >> If you use multiple servers you can use dovecot's proxy-feature to >> redirect the user to the correct server.

If you use a SQL-db the setup is non-trivial but doable :) For example, you've got 3 servers: If the user hits the right server, he accesses the local mailbox. If he hits the "wrong" server, the SQL-db finds out where his mails are stored and proxies him to the right server. If you add SQL-replication, you've got an nice setup without a single point of failure (SPOF). If one server crashes, some (!) mailboxes are unavailble but you can restore a backup to one of the live servers and update the mail storage location in the SQL-db accordingly. I do not like NFS that much (various NFS-problems, SPOF), therefore I recommend the above solution. Chris
