two node cluster with postfix - how to get system mails from both nodes
Hello,



i'm looking for the "right" way to integrate postfix in my 2 node cluster.



The question: how to receive system mails from the node where postfix is not
started?



this guide brought me to my current "solution"

http://www.linux-ha.org/wiki/Postfix_(resource_agent)



i start postfix with

master_service_disable = inet

alternate_config_directories = /etc/postfix.mail

over the systems init script

and created a second instance which is controlled by pacemaker for pop/smtp
stuff, but this depends on the "main" postfix instance.

furthermore i'm having problems to start the second instance with the
resource agent. "the Postfix mail system is not running"



before spend nights solving this i ask if this the way it should be? Is
there an easier way to get system mails from both nodes without the need of

two postfix instances?



this is my first mail to a mailing list ever, so please be lenient with me
;)



thanks

chris

The "right way" is "don't". Read e.g.
