multiple gateways
Hi,
I have a scenario where I have two SMTP servers I'd like to use as gateway
servers. In the docs. it says that James will try the servers in order until
one is successful.
Does this mean that while server1 is up(available) server2 will never be
used?
thanks... AJ

yes,
in case u want to use both the gateways... u can use a custom mailet, one
similar to RemoteDelivery, just tweak the code so that it does not change
the mail state to ghost, and configure this one for one delivery gateway,
while use the standard RemoteDelivery mailet after this to deliver mails to
the other mailgateway
p.s. u may change the RemoteDelivery code directly to deliver multiple
gateways also.. but i guess that will involve bit more work

Morning,
I think you could write your own mailet which will set an attribute in
a round-robin fashion. So for example set attribute X or Y.
The configure two instances of RemoteManager and use the HasAttribute
matcher to call instance 1 or 2.
Bye,
Norman

...to be even more clear :-) ....I'd like to do round robin between the two
gateways by IP address, not MX records, where caching might be an issue.
That being said, I'm not yet familiar with James internal DNS handling.
thanks...

Thanks for the response. Although I wasn't expicit, you guessed it. I would
like to do round Robin between the two gateways.

Hi,
when you say you want to use two gateways, how exactly ?
You want to deliver the same email to both or just want to use one of
them in round-robin fashion ?
Thx,
Norman
