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).
How do you connect to the storage?
if you are using iSCSI, NFS or SMB, it's not postfix business - simply mount
it to a directory and store data on it as if it was local.
If not, you must apparently run kind of server on the storage postfix will
deliver the mail to.
We have a setup which includes postfix and dovecot. We are using lmtp
and
delivery of mail is happening through dovecot. We want that delivery of
mail should happen in a separate node. I was able to achieve it through
lmtp by providing ip address and using port 24.
But now I have been asked to just try to deliver to a separate storage
medium and not node. That means it will have an ip address but no
dovecot
or other software running. This is in relation to incorporation of
storage
area network (SAN) later on.
Is it possible? I thought there must be some way as many running mail
systems are using message store and SAN. All i can find that was close
was
mailbox sharing and email archiving.
