Perdition is a mail retrieval proxy that allows users to connect to a
|
||
|
|
content-free POP3 or IMAP4 server that will redirect them to their real
|
||
|
|
POP3 or IMAP4 server. This enables mail retrieval for a domain to be
|
||
|
|
split across multiple backend servers on a per user basis. It can also
|
||
|
|
be used as a POP3 or IMAP4 proxy in firewall applications.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Perdition supports arbitrary library based map access to determine the
|
||
|
|
server for each user - POSIX regex, GDBM, PostgreSQL, MySQL, NIS and
|
||
|
|
OpenLDAP libraries ship with the distribution.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Please note that this package does not include support for PostgreSQL,
|
||
|
|
MySQL or OpenLDAP, however if you build the port and you have any of
|
||
|
|
those installed, the apropriate libraries WILL be build and you will
|
||
|
|
be able to use them. Please note though that the packing list does not
|
||
|
|
take these into account!

The use of perditon to scale mail services beyond a single box is discussed
|
||
|
|
in a paper the author wrote on high capacity email, so be sure to check the
|
||
|
|
web page.
