Re: [SM-DEVEL] SunOne Messaging Server installation?

[Kerem E. <ker...@ha...>]

I remember a problem like that. We had 2 2CPU MMPs and 2 4CPU mail 
stores. One mailstore was for students and the other was for academic 
staff. When you configured the MMPs as IMAP servers for SM, it took 
long to get the mail from the IMAP server but if you configured one of 
the mailstores as IMAP server, the mail came very fast to SM. But that 
breaks the functionality you know; when you configure one of the 
mailstores as the IMAP server of SM, the clients of the other mailstore 
cannot read their mails from SM (that's what MMPs are for right? :-) )

Try configuring your SM with one of your mailstores and compare the 
speed of SM to the configuration with MMPs.

That may give you some point.

Cheers,

Kerem
