I wonder why *anyone* in his sane mind would do so (okay, here it is smallish ISP but I - as a customer - trust my ISP to handle my mail and would get another ISP as soon as I knew that it is outsourcing mail). >> For mail server, I guess I should look at an MTA and IMAP/POP >> server >> that supports LDAP and/or MySQL for users.

Once it is configured properly, maintaining users is the same as with other MTAs. >> For IMAP/POP, I'm not sure... Would dovecot be sufficient, or >> should I try cyrus.

I've heard that dovecot scales pretty good. If you want to be on the safe side, cyrus probably scales way beyond what you need, but is also harder to maintain. >> There shoudn't be any troubles having some redundancy for DNS, web >> servers, mtas, but what about IMAP/POP? If you're already thinking about drbd - why not share the imap store also? And: There still is the Cyrus Murder for bigger setups, which allows for flexibility within IMAP frontend and backend servers. >> Or maybe IMAP proxies? See <http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki/bin/view/Cyrus/CyrusCluster> which should answer most of your questions regarding HA within an imap setup.
