Hi Initially I was able to deliver through the second option (the storage has some server running) through lmtp and port 24.
But now the requirement is like the option one( using NFS, iSCSI,etc). Two queries regarding this first option:- 1) Its not like delivering to a different location, I feel. It is like sharing the emails to a different storage. How it will work when mailserver's storage fills up while that remote storage will still have lots of space. 2) Is this option mainly used in large scale emailing systems like a university emailing system, etc. Regards On Wed 4 Apr, 2018 18:59 Matus UHLAR - fantomas, <uh...@fantomas.sk> wrote: > On 04.04.18 18:28, SAAHIL IFTEKHAR wrote: > >You mean we are actually sharing mailboxes to a separate storage?
