Our operation is currently split between 3 cities, with each city having its own mail server, web server, authentication server (tacacs+), etc. I'm trying to unify all of this and simplify administration. My first task will be to join the authentication servers into one (with backups) so we can have central user administration. My current problem is what to do with the mail server. For reasons I can't disclose here I need to have the mail server in a location that has quite limited bandwidth to the Internet. If I put the central mail server on a machine located there, all the other users will feel a slowdown because they will have to read their mail through this limited pipe. What are other people doing in this situation? How are you spreading your POP3 servers to different locations? Do you only have a central POP3 server? Do you have NFS mouted mail spools? I have FreeBSD 2.1.0 in one location, FreeBSD 2.1.5 in another and currently Irix 5.3 (soon to be replaced by FreeBSD 2.1.6.1) in another location (the other two machines will be upgraded to 2.1.6.1, too). I'm currently using sendmail 8.8.4 with procmail as my local delivery agent and Qualcomm's POP3 server. Oh, and a related question: does anybody know about a POP3 server that would authenticate users through either Radius or TACACS+? And also a local delivery agent that would support this? I don't want to have the users in my /etc/passwd file, I want all of the authentication to be centralised in either the Radius or TACACS+ server. Thanks for any suggestions you can offer. -- Blaz Zupan, blaz.zupan@medinet.si, http://www.medinet.si/~blaz Medinet d.o.o., Linhartova 21, 2000 Maribor, Slovenia
