Perhaps you first need to think/consider what you actually want. I
cannot recommend you to install an IMAP server in Dallas or any other

Maybe you don't even need or want IMAP but want to deliver mail to a
local mailbox, or relay to another server, etc.
If this is a hobby project or some kind of theoretical question or
experiment, then OK, but if this is work then I'm not sure this is the
right place (and maybe -- meaning no offense -- you're not the right
person).
You could read about virtual_transport in postfix so you know which
options you have when delivering. I use dovecot (IMAP server), so I have
virtual_transport = lmtp:unix:private/dovecot-lmtp
If you install dovecot somewhere you could deliver received mails to it,
but not using a unix socket (as MX and IMAP would run on different
servers), but using something like lmtp:[IP_of_IMAP_server]:port
Thanks for the helps.
My purpose is to setup two MX servers in different locations for high
availability.
But I am not sure how the two MX servers handle message storage.
