In this Xen setup, I think the best way to accomplish your goals is to create 6 guests: 2 x Linux Postfix 2 x Linux Dovecot 1 x Linux NFS server 1 x Linux Dovecot director Each of these can be painfully small stripped down Linux instances. Configure each Postfix and Dovecot server to access t

Hi Everyone, I wish to run Dovecot on my "Front End" outbound mail relay, and use Dovecot purely for authentication purposes. However, each mysql database for each domain will be on a separate server. Is there a way for dovecot to authenticate against different databases depending on domain name?
