Other have answered that, but in case you'd not realised - Cluebringer needs write access to the DB, it's not a read-only environment and you can't run two independent installations while accurately imposing quotas etc. When using quotas and greylisting (just mentioning the two that come to mind), each message triggers one or more write operations to the DB. If you try and run two independent installation, then greylisting won't work properly, and each will allow the full quota of messages through (doubling your throughput if the load is balanced equally between two servers). Apart from the race condition already mentioned by Nigel, the Cluebringer process itself can be run as many times as you like as long as they share one database. Since HA installations on the underlying DB are already a problem with known options - I'd just run a Cluebringer on each mail handler and let them share the same backend database. On that, I notice that the package is now in Debian testing, and the package maintainers have split the daemon and gui into separate packages.
