Hi You mean we are actually sharing mailboxes to a separate storage? And still mails are delivered in the same node(ip address) where postfix is running?
I am trying to find a way through which the mails can be delivered to this separate storage. This storage is like simply a remote storage not a server. So no dovecot running on it. I was already able to deliver emails on a different ip through the help of dovecot and port 24. Now we are thinking of using SAN later on and thatswhy the requirement is --> mails to deliver on separate storage(different ip address). If I am not clear. Please point it out. Any help will be really appreciated.
