Hi,

I've been looking the last few days to come up with a high available solution for my incoming mail, so multiple servers for the incoming mail.

Now next step is: what to do with the databases and the website for my end users.

obviously having a database available on every server would be the most interesting solution, but it will make the asp pages much more complex (and they're not ready to handle that).

So probably i'll go for a solution of multiple servers with logsat installed, pointing to a single database.

But at that point the database becomes a single point of failure. Could you let me know how the operations of logsat are impacted when this database is offline (in essence: what happens with email that should be quarantined?)

 

tnx

sebastian

Sebastian,

SpamFilter was designed to work without a database present as well. Should a database be configured, and become unavailable during normal operations, SpamFilter will continue to process the emails as usual, and will simply skip the quarantine-ing process for spam emails, logging the failure in the logfile. When the database becomes available again, SpamFilter will automatically resume the archiving process.

Please feel free to test this with our freely available version of SpamFilter on our website.
