Hello *,

Hey! We are all stars! ;)

I have a doubt about a scenario I am trying to implement using Sympa.

I have 2 servers (One is the Relay server (Postfix) and the other one is
where the mailboxes are located (Sendmail)).

The distinction between this 2 servers is done via an external/internal
DNS zones.

OK

I tried to install Sympa in the Relay server but when a message is
delivered to a list it tries to send to the local mailboxes which do not
exist. Is it possible to have Sympa and WWSympa installed in the Relay
server and deliver the mail on the Mailboxes server?

Yes, why not? This is just a matter of MTA configuration. When Sympa sends a mail, it calls the MTA command line. So it is up to the MTA to correctly route the mails.

Can I have a separation between the Web Interface and the Sympa daemon
in 2 different servers?

Not yet. Well, not yet easily. See, the daemons and wwsympa share a lot of data on the filesystem (list configs, main config, bounces, etc.) So they need to be able to access and / or modify these files. that's why it's easier to put them both on the same server.

But  you can do it as long as you make these files available through NFS. In this case, you should set the value of the "lock_method" sympa parameter to "nfs", so that Sympa uses NFS locking primitives when accessing files.

Please have a look at https://www.sympa.org/manual/server_architecture_for_big_services#nfs for details.

Regards,

David

Thanks for any hint you could give me. Best regards,

Sérgio Afonso
